Soapstone is a natural rock found in the village of Tabaka near Kisii, Kenya. Most of the villagers make their living from creating these wonderful sculptures, the larger ones such as this are made by master craftsmen. The stone is quarried by hand in fairly shallow mines and then items are created using only basic hand tools

Sizes may vary a little due to the handmade nature. Sizes  8" 

As it is hand carved there is no manufacturer's packaging.
