These stunning soapstone nested animal statues are masterfully hand-carved in the Kisii region of western Kenya, each with unique stone patterns and natural color pattens.
The soapstone is first quarried and brought to the surface by hand. The master carvers then create the shape using basic hand tools and a knife to etch the detailed design. They use sandpaper & water to get the smooth finish, then paint each piece with water-based dyes. Each sale benefits the artisans and their communities.
CARE: Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
