Soapstone Owl - Kenya

Price: $29.95


 


Kenya's soapstone is found in the highlands of the Kisii district in western Kenya. The artisans produce each piece of art without the assistance of any mechanical device. Excavation of the raw quarry stone, carving, polishing, painting, and etching are all done by manually. Each work of art is individual and a reflection of the artists' creativity and ingenuity.

For longer enjoyment, please do not place in direct sunlight as color is not steadfast.

This beautifully abstracted owl is 5" tall and 3" wide.
