Handcrafted in Kisii, Western Kenya, the Giraffe Kisii Soapstone Egg is a striking piece of African art that beautifully captures the essence of the giraffe, a symbol of grace and elegance. Carved from raw soapstone by skilled local artisans, this egg is smoothed and dyed using natural dyes derived from minerals, vegetables, berries, charcoal, and roots. The egg features a giraffe’s signature spotted pattern, with rich hues that evoke the beauty of the African savannah.
What truly sets this piece apart is the intricate etching of a full giraffe, which is delicately etched and dyed onto two sides of the egg. The combination of the giraffe print and the etched illustration creates a stunning visual that brings the spirit of African wildlife into your home.
Because each egg is handmade, no two pieces are identical, making it a truly one-of-a-kind addition to your home decor. This handcrafted soapstone egg also makes a thoughtful and unique gift for collectors or anyone who appreciates African art and craftsmanship. The egg stand is sold separately but can be purchased here for immediate display.
