Carvers in Kenya’s western highlands craft this tea light candle holder from soft soapstone. Artisans in a Nairobi workshop then add a cheerful orange dyed finish and etched leaf details. Can also be used to hold a stick of incense.
Sold singly. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly.
