This hand carved Kisii soapstone box is a small treasure rooted in the rich artistic traditions of southwestern Kenya. Crafted from a single piece of stone mined in the Tabaka Hill s, artisans carefully shape, sand, wax, paint, and etch each box by hand, creating intricate designs and a smooth, satiny finish. Perfect for holding jewelry or special keepsakes, it adds meaningful beauty and global character to any space. Because every piece is handmade, natural variations in color and pattern make each one truly unique. Fair Trade and ethically crafted, this box supports safe working conditions, fair wages, and community investment, so you can enjoy a functional work of art that reflects both heritage and heart. Dimensions: 2.75" x 1.50" Handmade in Kenya | Fair Trade | Eco-Friendly | Women-Owned Business Show more
