Henry Munyaradzi preferred to use both hard black serpentine and verdite, as well as other softer materials such as green or red serpentine.  A purity of form he devises while garnering expression and spirit.  His subject matter encompassed human figures, animals, plants, birds, insects and reptiles.  This individual without formal education many treat as one of best known of the First Generation Shona sculptors.
