Set of African Soapstone Hand-Painted Heart Trinkets Dishes w/ Rainbow Safari Painting

Two heart-shaped dishes. Two iconic African scenes. One beautiful set. Each dish is hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone by Kenyan artisans, then hand-painted with a vivid, detailed depiction of the African Maasai Mara — one featuring an elephant, the other a giraffe beneath an acacia tree. The rainbow colors speak to the cultural vibrancy of Africa, and no two paintings are exactly alike.

Use them as trinket dishes on a nightstand, dresser, coffee table, or desk — or gift them to someone who loves Africa, wildlife, or beautiful things.

The Story Behind the Art

Kisii soapstone exists nowhere else on earth but the hills of southwestern Kenya. Artisans mine it by hand and carve each piece with patience and skill, then skilled painters bring the African landscape to life on the surface. Every set is a Fair Trade creation that supports living wages and the communities where these artisans live and work.

Each dish is hand-painted — colors and details will vary naturally, making every set one of a kind.
