Onyeka Matriarchs

Description

Carved from twin blocks of luxurious butter jade, Onyeka Matriarchs presents two busts that stand as timeless guardians of lineage and legacy. The stone’s creamy translucence captures ambient light, lending each sculpture a living breath—an echo of ancestral voices woven through the veins of the material.

Delicate striations in pale honey-green trace across the forms, accentuating the contours of regal necklines and the intricately detailed hairstyles. With each polished surface, the artist invites the viewer to feel the tactile warmth of tradition, a reminder that our strength is rooted in those who came before us.

This pair of butter jade busts embodies matriarchal wisdom and grace—figures that watch over family histories with steadfast poise. Onyeka Matriarchs is not merely sculpture but an heirloom conversation between past, present, and the future yet to unfold.
