Description :

This colorful carved soapstone bowl was carefully carried into the United States from Kenya. It is original and was carved by artisans who use a specific process to create soapstone.  The shallow bowl is intricately and delightfully designed with carved giraffe motif.  At glance, the bowl appearsto be made of wood (especially in the underside picture); however the bowl is solid metamorphic rock composed of magnesium-rich mineral talc.  Artisans have used this carving medium for thousands of years.   Bowl is excellent.

You will find more lots with these exquisite soapstone bowls, plates and vases in this auction.


Dimensions : 14 in W x 3 in H
