A trio of hand-carved soapstone sculptures originating from the Kisii region of Kenya.

The pieces are carved from natural soapstone exhibiting a range of earth tones including creamy yellow, pale green, and grey-tan, with some pieces showing distinctive reddish-brown veining. Each sculpture features a smooth, polished finish and is designed with an integrated base. No visible artist marks or signatures are present on the items.
