Whale Tail - Mopane Wood - Small

Created from salvaged mopane wood, this sculpture of a whale tail waving "Hello!" exactly captures the joyful presence of whales off the coast of South Africa during the winter and spring months. Each one-of-a-kind sculpture is inspired by the character of the found wood, Boniface seeing his mission as completing nature's work and revealing the animal form that he sees emerging from the grain of the wood. Often the wood is left raw in part of the finished piece, the natural and polished surfaces making a harmonious whole.

All sculptures are fumigated and  shipped with a fumigation certificate. Each is mounted on a stand and there is a choice of a wooden or metal base.
