This gorgeous starfish paperweight is hand carved from Kisii soap stone. Kisii soapstone is mined by hand from quarries in Western Kenya. Carvers cut the large rocks into smaller pieces, then chisel a rough shape into the stone. Women then sand-wash the stone pieces and polish them. Each starfish takes 4 hours to carve. The stone carvers of Kisii are one of many craft groups working alongside Trade Aid’s partner, Undugu Fair Trade.
Natural stone, colours may vary.
