Star Lot : A striking Makonde Mozambique African blackwood sculpture 'Tree of Life' / ' Ujamaa'. Fabulous work on this carved piece.
MM: 36cm
The sculptural form popularly known as ‘Tree of Life’ is called Ujamaa, and is attributed to Roberto Yacobo Sangwani, an artist associated with Peera’s workshop, whose first creation was one which depicted a group of wrestlers carrying a champion on their shoulders. As other sculptors adopted the theme, it became a genre that spoke of solidarity, mutual support, and most importantly, relationship. Ujamaa are generally tall sculptures in the round that tell stories about the interrelations of family, tribal communities and larger social entities
