Hand Carved Kenyan Kisii Stone Frown Head

Item Details

Description

Here is a hand-carved frowning head made of Kenyan Kisii Stone. This artist signed the bottom of the head. The head is approx 5 1/2" x 1" x 10" and it weighs 3.80lbs. The head is in a good, used condition with a very small chip on the top of the head. Please see the images as they are part of the description.

Kisii Stone is mined in southwestern Kenya. The term Kisii is taken from the regional capital of Kisii, which is also the local language spoken by the Gussi tribe, who are the main inhabitants. This stone is called “Soap Stone” in Kenya, but it is a much harder soapstone than the Brazilian or Indian soapstone. The color includes cream, cream-reddish, gray, and tan. When cut and polished Kisii Stone has one of the smoothest textured surfaces of all the stones. It actually is a fairly hard stone with a Moh factor of around 3 to 4.
