Soapstone Mushroom Pendant Necklace
About this product
This mini mushroom makes such a fun-gi necklace! Strung on a strong cord with a golden clasp, this brightly coloured pendant has been hand carved and painted by Kenyan artisans.
Most of the world's 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 and colour then added. A smaller knife, known as a kisu, is then used for the engraved design or illustration.
Origin: Kenya
