Soapstone Giraffe Plate

This highly detailed decorative soapstone plate comes to us from Kenya.

The plate's raw form is hand carved by Gusii artisans in Kisii Town, where extensive deposits of this metamorphic rock are found.

Artisans in Nairobi dye the plate and etch a grazing giraffe scene into the foreground.

A beautiful gift for African safari enthusiasts!
