Zimbabwe is home to an exquisite art form called Shona sculpture. These unique African sculptures can be seen all over the world, gracing hallways, gardens, and many an art-lover's home. Depending on their size (and the fame of their sculptor), Shona art can fetch up to $10,000 a piece.
But the sculptors who create these pieces are in trouble. No one's showing up to buy their art. Tourism in Zimbabwe has crashed, thanks to the political and economic chaos there.
