This statue, hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone by African artisans, features the outstretched arms of parents and their children holding onto one another in love and connectivity.

Soapstone is a soft stone, making it ideal for carving into many forms, so please use care when handling to avoid breakage.
Story Behind the Art:
Each sculpture is artfully hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, found only in the hills of southwestern Kenya. Mining the soapstone from surface hills is a labor-intensive process, using little to no machinery. Laborers works with shovels, picks, axes and machetes to carve out large soapstone chucks, which are then carved into beautiful art.
