Soapstone animals are here, and we think they are absolutely adorable! Each one is handcrafted by the widows in Kenya. These animals are made from soapstone which is commonly found in Kenya and gets its name from its smooth, soap-like feel. Natural soapstone is interspersed with shades of grey, pink, or purple. After the stone is carved and sanded, it is then etched and painted by hand. If you order an animal pictured in a group, you will receive one or more of the various designs pictured. Each animal varies in size, however, they are approximately the size to rest in the palm of a hand. Each one is hand-carved and painted thus there will be slight variations in shade and carvings.

We recommend displaying them in the shade and not in direct sunlight as their paint may fade.
