Share some love with your special someone every time he or she uses this unique catch-all to keep change contained on the dresser or hold jewelry in a beautiful dish.  This pair of lovebirds is cozied up among the flowers in a heart shape on this wonderfully hand-carved pink Kisii Soapstone Dish.

 

Every item of our Soapstone collection starts as a huge hunk of stone, mined and hauled form the lushly green hills of southwestern Kenya, before being sawed and hacked by machetes into smaller chunks of soapstone.  Master artisans chisel and carve every piece into its final rough shape, and then more artisans wet sand until it is completely smooth.  Then the hot Kenyan sun dries the soapstone items before different artisans paint or dye them and hand-etch every single message.  So much time and talent, so many hands and so very much love goes into every single heart.

 

Purchasing just one of these hearts or of any of the Kisii Soapstone pieces provides so many jobs and a sustainable, stable income that provides for each woman artisan's family and the education and university fees for their children in a country where employment is too often nearly impossible for women to find.

 

For decorative use only; getting them wet could damage the dye.

Approximately 4 inches wide.
