Description :
This is an original carved soapstone plate that was acquired in Kenya. The plate is intricately designed with traditional tribal women carrying goods on head. Appears to be constructed of wood in pictures especially the underside; but the bowl is solid metamorphic rock composed of magnesium-rich mineral talc. Artisans have used this carving medium for thousands of years. Plate is excellent.
Dimensions : 14.5 in W x .25 in H
