How cute is this hippo? Kenyan artisans hand carve each miniature sculpture from soft kisii soapstone, then hand dye each hippo with bright non-toxic dyes. Etched flowers add some serious sweetness. Skilled artisans working with African Modern in and around Nairobi, Kenya specialize in carving, polishing and decorating native Kisii soapstone into whimsical decorative pieces.
