Soapstone Hippo ~ T-Light

The hippo is one of Kenya’s most beloved animals, and this hand-carved Kisii soapstone rendition captures its quiet charm in miniature. Each piece is shaped and polished by artisans in the Kisii Hills of western Kenya, where soapstone carving has been a community tradition for generations. Place a tea-light inside and the warm glow brings out the stone’s natural tones, making it a beautiful addition to any shelf, table, or windowsill. Available in a range of colours and animal designs, each one is entirely unique.
