Kisii soapstone is one of the most well-known artforms from East Africa.  A hand-carved piece of art from the Kisii region of Kenya is a real treasure.  Soapstone is mined from the Tabaka Hills and then carved by talented artisans into many designs that are beautiful and often functional.  Laborers work with shovels, picks, axes and machetes to carve out large soapstone chunks. The large pieces of stone are cut using pangas (large knives) and then brought to the workshop for carving and finishing.  The soapstone from the Tabaka Hills come in a range of colors from white to pink to grey.  As it is crafted, it goes through multiple stages of sanding and waxing which gives the soapstone a satiny finish. 

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