About the Item

A found soapstone cattle statue, hailing from the heart of Kenya. Each curve and contour of this exquisite piece has been meticulously carved, showcasing the artisan's skill and attention to detail. Particularly remarkable are the realistic details captured in the cattle's face, bringing the statue to life with its expressive features and gentle demeanor. Though the statue has undergone a minor repair to its tail, this subtle restoration only adds to the piece's history and charm, emphasizing its journey and resilience. Crafted from the finest soapstone, this statue not only stands as a testament to the material's natural beauty and durability but also embodies the rich cultural heritage of Kenya.
