Description: Second-generation sculptor, Joseph Mutasa, made this highly detailed, 220-pound Zimbabwean sculpture from an 800-pound block of opal stone. Showing two male figures, a father and a son, protruding from stone allows the viewer to witness the similarities between them – almost as if to say they are two sides of the same coin or, in this case, stone.
