Bright and cheery, these vibrant sculptures are the result of carving, polishing, dying, and etching by talented Gusii artisans in western Kenya. These popular kisii stone hearts have been miniaturized to utilize small scraps of unused stone. The hearts come in a color assortment of vibrant colors, and are etched with playful swirl and dot patterns. For adults only please, as these sweet hearts are small enough to present a choking hazard for small children (and medium children will probably be tempted to eat them). Size: 1"L x 0.75"W x 1.5"H About the Artisans: At the Ndima Crafts' finishing shop in Nairobi's industrial district, roughly a dozen artisans of varied ethnicity transform raw soapstone by using non-toxic synthetic dyes under the leadership of Charles Ndibe.
