Soapstone Black Birds - Big & Little

These simple and elegant bird sculptures are hand-carved from soapstone by African craftsmen in Kenya using traditional techniques. Small baby bird is approximately 3.5 inches in length, and mother bird is approximately 5 inches in length. Each bird is approximately 2-inches tall. Each piece has been dyed, painted and polished to create these one-of-kind keepsakes. The soapstone rock is ideal for carving as it gets its softness from the mineral talc. Due to the handmade nature, each is unique and will vary slightly.
