A modernist carved stone sculpture depicting two stylized and elongated figures in a close embrace. The work is executed in a mottled, light-tan coloured stone with a polished finish, characteristic of soapstone carving from Kenya. The figures are simplified into fluid, sweeping curves, with their heads meeting. The sculpture is carved from a single block, with the figures rising from an integral, rectangular stone base. No visible signature or maker’s marks were observed.
Height: 21.5 cm.
