Giant Soapstone Thinking Man Statue No.15
About this product
This large scale soapstone statue has been hand carved by skilled artisans and depicts a man deep in thought. It is a more abstract sculpture and stands at a grand 28" tall, making it a dominating feature piece. The natural colouring and textures of the stone have been left to make this even more of a unique piece or artwork. Most of the worlds soapstone originates from Kisii in the western highlands of Kenya and so is home to the best soapstone artisans and carvers. The talc in soapstone is soft to touch, hence the name. Before starting work the stone must be immersed in water to make it even softer and therefore easier to work with. Using a hammer and chisel the main shape is carved out. This item is cash and carry only. Approx. 28" height × 14" width × 11" depth
Origin: Kenya
