Chameleon lizard Stone carving Brown Serpentine Shona Zimbabwe African Art #12

Description

Hand carved in Zimbabwe.  These stone Chameleons are one of my favorite small art finds in Zimbabwe.  The serpentine stone nicely reflects the true colors of the Chameleon.  I personally chose each carving at Newlands Market,  outside of Harare.
The Chameleon is an indigenous creature of Southern Africa.  Hard to see as they blend in with their surroundings,  a amazing creature to watch once found.
