In Harare, but also in other cities, I found some shops with very nice decorated textiles.
I bought some cushions slopes, a bedcover and a table cloth. Back in Europe I started to collect more of these the same imported textiles cloth from Zimbabwe, because I liked the prints very much. I found them in Germany and the Netherlands.

The sculptors of Zimbabwe, especially of the Tengenenge Art Community are very known.
I like the smooth shiny forms from the first time I saw an exhibition in the Netherlands.
At the moment there are several galleries in Europe selling the Zimbabwean sculptures.
Some sculptors visit workshops abroad.
In Harare and many other cities there is a lot of choice of all kind of sculptures: cheap, expensive, heavy or very heavy, amateur- and professional work, tiny or huge. Choice for everybody.
This sculpture I bought in Harare.

Harare - Once a paradise (for a few)
