MBIRIRI?S COMMISSION TO RECORD THE SHONA HERITAGE IN STONE LAID DOWN NO SPECIFIC RULES OR REGULATIONS. HE WAS NEVER TOLD WHAT TO RECORD OR IN WHAT ORDER. HENCE THE CONTENTS OF HIS WORKS, STYLE OR FORM SPRANG SOLELY FROM THE ARTIST SUNHU ( A PERSONS SOUL, PERSONALITY, AMBITION, MOTIVATION) AS INTUITIVE REFLECTIONS OF INSPIRATIONS THAT OCCUPIED MBIRIRI?S MIND AT ANY ONE PARTICULAR TIME. AS THE COLLECTION INCREASED, EACH NEW PIECE OFTEN CAME AS ASURPRISE. FROM WORKING IN THE FIELD OF FOLKLORE MBIRIRI COULD SWITCH OVER-NIGHT TO DEPICTIONS OF NANGAISM OR RELIGION, AND SWITCH EQUALLY QUICKLY BACK AGAIN TO SUBJECTS HE HAD TOUCHED ON IN THE PAST. THE FIVE STATUES ARE INDICATIVE OF THIS PROCESS AND ALSO MBIRIRI?S CONSTANT AND TOTAL AND IRREVOCABLE DEVOTION TO HIS VADZIMU. IN BETWEEN MAJOR SCULPTURAL WORKS MBIRIRI EVERY SO MANY MONTHS FELT THE URGE TO PRODUCE YET ANOTHER VISUAL IMAGE OF AN ANCESTRAL SPIRIT AND THAT IS WHAT THESE FIVE FIGURES REPRESENT. THE VADZIMU WERE PART OF MBIRIRI?S EVERYDAY LIFE. MBIRIRI KNEW THAT HE COULD ONLY BE HAPPY IF THE VADIMU WERE HAPPY AND SO HE PLEASED THEM FROM TIME TO TIME BY IMMORTALIZING THEIR IMAGES IN STONE. THIS WAS THE WAY OF HONORING HIS VADZIMU AND ALSO THANKING THEM FOR ALWAYS CHARGING HIS UNHU WITH THE GOOD SPIRIT. $1,000.00-$2,500.00

MBIRIRI?S FASCINATION WITH THE NANGA AND HIS ACTIVITIES, AND HIS AWE AND RESPECT FOR THE NANGA?S POWERS, INSPIRED A SERIES OF STATUES, OF WHICH HORSE NANGA IS ONE. MBIRIRI SAID ABOUT HORSE NANGA ?TO BETTER PROTECT THE VILLAGE AND PEOPLE, THE NANGASOMETIMES TAKES THE SHAPE OF A HORSE-FAST, STRONG AND FURIOUS-WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH THE NIGHT TO WARD OFF EVIL SPIRITS. THROUGH HEAVILY STYLIZED, THE ICONOGTAPHYOF HORSE NANGA IS CLEAR. THE BEAUTIFULLY SCULPTED SPIRIT EYES, ENLARGED HEAD AND OVER-SIZED EARS IMMEDIATELY TELL US WE ARE VIEWING A NANGA. THE SPIRAL EYES SIGNIFY SUPERNATURAL POWER. THE SPIRAL IS A GOOD LUCK CHARM THAT ALSO WARDS OFF THE EVIL SPIRITS. IT IS THEREFORE FREQUENTLY CARVED INTO AFRICAN HUT DOORS.

THE LEGEND OF Lot #115 (Sale Order 119 of 143) NZUZU ?THE FAMILY MUST DRIVE A BLACK COW TO THE RIVER BANK WHILE SHEDDING NO TEAR?. THE LEGEND OF THE NZUZU AND THE BELIEF OF HIS EXISTENCE ARE MUCH ALIVE AMONG THE SHONA PEOPLE.. ZURU BEING THE SHONA WORD FOR THE EVIL MAKES NZUZU THE EVIL ONE. HE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE RIVER MAN OR THE RIVER DEVIL. MBIRIRI SAID, ?NZUZU IS THE RIVER MAN?. HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DROWNINGS. AFTER PULLING HIS VICTIM UNDER, HE WILL OFFER HIM BOTH GOOD AND INFERIOR FOOD. TO HAVE A CHANCE TO COME BACK TO LIFE THE VICTIM MUST TAKE INFERIOR FOOD AND HIS FAMILY MUST DRIVE A BLACK COW TO THE RIVER BANK WHILE SHEDDING NO TEAR OVER THE LOSS OF THE FAMILY MEMBER. IF THE VICTIM BE RELEASED BY RIVER MAN, THE COW MUST BE IMMEDIATELY SLAUGHTERED AND FEASTED ON. IF SO, THE DROWNING EXPERIENCE WILL QUALIFY THE VICTIM FOR RETURN TO LIFE AS A NANGA. THUS MBIRIRI CONFIRMS THAT SHONA BELIEF THAT THERE IN NO NATURAL DEATH. DEATH IS CAUSED BY EVIL SPIRITS, IN THIS CASE THE NZUZU THE EVIL NATURE OF NZUZU IS CLEVERLY BROUGHT OUT IN SHARP AND THREATENING FACIAL FEATURES-FROWNING BROWS OVER A BLOCK NOSE AND DOWN TURNED MOUTH, IN CONTRAST, THE SLEEK AND SHINY BODY AND THE PLEASINGLY FORMED MERMAID-LIKE LEGS RENDER TACTILITY AND STRENGTH. THE VERTICAL STRENGTH IS PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE. THE HANDS OF THE NZUZU ARE SOLID TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY SHOW NO FINGERS. HANDS ARE TELL TALE IN SHONA SCULPTURE. A THREE FINGERED HAND IS OFTEN EMPLOYED TO DENOTE POSSESSION BY EVIL SPIRITS. THE STATUE WAS STOLEN IN 1977 BY A MAN NAMED GODFREY, WHO CARVED HIS NAME INTO THE BASE AND SOLD IT AS HIS OWN WORK. KING COOPERATION FROM THE RHODESIA HERALD (THE MAIN NEWSPAPER IN ZIMBABWE AT THE TIME) IN PUBLISHING PICTURES OF THE NZUZU RESULTED IN THE RETURN OF THE SCULPTURE AND THE JAILING OF THE THIEF. NZUZU STANDS APPROXIMATELY 30.5? H. THE MEDIUM IS DARK GREEN TO BLACK HARD SERPENTINE. IT WAS SCULPTED IN HARARE, ZIMBABWE IN EARLY 1970?S.$1,000.00-$5,000.00
