This beautiful cat is hand-carved out of kisii stone. Kisii stone is a type of soapstone found in the Kisii region of south western Kenya. The stone has a talc-like feel. It is cut and sanded until smooth. This piece has been dyed with non-toxic dyes and the tail etched with patterns. This cat's tail makes a great ring holder.
Handcarved by artisans with the Vaneal Self-Help Group in Kenya
