Kenyan artisans hand carve these simply sweet bunny rabbits from soft soapstone, dyed with a vibrant red finish and etched details. Soapstone is mined in Kisii county in southwestern Kenya. Swahili Modern works with three different artisan groups in and around Nairobi who carve, polish and paint the stone to create beautiful pieces.

Swahili Modern believes that adaptation helps traditional African craft forms thrive. Artisans can earn a living from the comfort of home by doing creative work, so they have options beyond seeking work in cities. Through export, skills inherited through generations, sometimes with deep-rooted cultural significance, continue to bring meaning, stability, and a sense of pride to entire communities.

Because this item is handcrafted, colours and designs may vary. Each piece is completely unique and might not exactly match the photo.
