Soapstone is a natural rock found in the village of Tabaka near Kisii, Kenya.

Most of the villagers make their living from these sculptures.

Polishing with wax polish helps to slow down the natural fading of the dyes used.

Suitable for use with dried flowers.

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