Red Tree of Hearts Soapstone Desktop Box

Carvers in Kenya’s western highlands craft the basic form for a lidded storage box from soft soapstone. Artisans in a Nairobi workshop then add a deep red dyed finish and etched details of tree of hearts in full bloom.

Sold singly. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly.

About the Artisans:

Soapstone is mined in Kisii county in southwestern Kenya. We work with three different artisan groups in and around Nairobi who carve, polish and paint the stone to create beautiful pieces.
