Description
Introducing our beautifully hand-carved Kisii soapstone hippos, a delightful addition to any home decor. This set of five colorful sculptures is perfect for brightening up small spaces and adding a touch of whimsy to your surroundings.
Each sculpture is meticulously crafted from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, which is sourced from the hills of southwestern Kenya. The mining process is labor-intensive, employing traditional tools such as shovels, picks, axes, and machetes. Once the soapstone is extracted, skilled artisans carve it into unique art pieces. Each sculpture undergoes multiple hand-waxing processes to achieve a smooth, satiny finish. Finally, artisans hand-paint each hippo with vibrant colors and traditional designs, ensuring that every piece is one-of-a-kind.
