Pieces like this are commonly associated with Southern African stone carving traditions, particularly from Zimbabwe, where artisans have worked with natural stones such as jasper, serpentine, and soapstone since the mid-20th century. This example likely dates to the late 20th century (circa 1970s–1990s), a period when small-scale export carvings gained popularity for their organic modern aesthetic and symbolic human forms.

The flowing lines and natural marbling of the jasper create a one-of-a-kind sculptural accent well suited to wabi-sabi, minimalist, and collected interiors.
