This African art sculpture is known as Shona sculpture because it is carved by the Shona of Zimbabwe. In Shona folklore, the elephant or 'Nzou' symbolizes patience and long life. Elephants are esteemed by the Shona for their great devotion, loyalty and dedication for one another - all fundamental values in the Shona culture. Family bonds, respect for eachother, support, and love are central to the Shona beliefs and the elephant, symbolizes this to them.
