Title

Two Zulu Warriors

Description

Two sculptural pieces are attached to a base with eight legs. The two sculptures are similar in construction, with each made up of a large machine from which a circular piece of metal extends. Within these circles are smaller circles reminiscent of eyes and in between the eyes is a spring resembling a nose. On the top of the two larger circles is a metal bar with a twisted piece of metal attached. Heavy oxidation throughout. A tangle of branches emerge from the metal machinery and wrap around the middle base pole. Two medical crutches are propped against the sculpture.

These sculptures are described by Minter as "protecting" the African Matriarch sculpture.
