Artifacts


Many valuable artifacts had been left behind by the people of the Shona Empire. A few artifacts come from great Zimbabwe, and are found in old huts, that were destroyed and were used as new land for new huts. In the leveled off huts there were Ceremonial spearheads, large soapstone bowls and gold objects. But the most valuable artifacts are found in an ancient temple. These artifacts are called the eight birds, which were carved out of soapstone, but the species of birds is unknown.
