Dreamhead is part of a collection of Shona sculpture from the artists' village of Tengenenge in Zimbabwe. Shona images are often meant to be symbolic, they each have their own story, myth or meaning and are formed from the artist's experience; the sculptor sees and feels the stone and then gets an idea of what the statue should look like. Dreamhead is made of serpentine stone, a hard stone.
