These handcrafted zebra sculptures are carved from natural Kisii soapstone and finished in complementary patterns—one with natural stone and black stripes, the other with painted black and natural accents. Designed in a minimal, stylized form, this set of two creates a balanced visual statement, perfect for shelves, desks, or thoughtful gifts. Each piece is individually carved by Kenyan artisans, making no two sets exactly alike.
Why You’ll Love It
These zebras bring a beautiful sense of contrast and connection. Their mirrored designs symbolize harmony, and the smooth soapstone surface gives them a grounded, tactile quality. They're small enough to fit anywhere but carry the warmth of handmade artistry in every detail.

The Story Behind the Art
These sculptures are hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, sourced from the hills of southwestern Kenya. The carving and finishing process involves traditional tools, hand sanding, and natural waxing—passed down through generations. SMOLArt, the artisan group behind these creations, is a Fair Trade organization that supports community initiatives and ensures safe, ethical working conditions for its members.
