Kenyan Soapstone Hand Carved Mouse 'Sweetheart'
Couldn't load pickup availability
Sweetheart is a hand carved soapstone mouse — a small sculptural companion for a desk or mantelpiece, with pointed ears that double nicely as a ring display.
Soapstone is a tactile, marble-like stone, and being a natural material, every piece varies slightly in colour and pattern. Pairs well with our soapstone cat, or another soapstone mouse, for a sweet little set.
Who made your soapstone carving?
Hand carved by the Tabaka Youth Self Help Group, a collective of soapstone artisans based in Tabaka, South West Kenya, founded in 1996 and led today by Bonnie. The group carves each piece from soapstone quarried locally, continuing a craft the region has been known for over generations.

Care
Handle with care and wash by hand — soapstone isn't suitable for the dishwasher.
