Kisii Soapstone Family Sculpture / Abstract African Statue

Celebrate the bond of family with this handmade Kisii soapstone family sculpture. Two parents stand close, their arms joined in a circle around a small child at the center. The figures are shown in smooth, flowing curves with rounded heads and open spaces, a style that is simple, modern, and full of warmth.

The sculpture is carved by hand from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, a soft, smooth stone from the Kisii highlands of western Kenya, long known for its skilled carvers. The stone is sanded and polished to a silky, cool finish in deep grey and black tones, with soft natural variations in the surface. It stands on a round base, so it sits steadily on a shelf, table, or desk.

Display it in a living room, bedroom, office, or entryway, where it adds a calm, artistic touch to the space. It makes a meaningful gift for weddings, anniversaries, new babies, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and housewarmings. Each piece is hand-carved and finished by hand, so shape, color, and detail vary slightly from sculpture to sculpture.
