Description
Cat and Mouse Ornament
Hand carved from soapstone, this adorable cat and mouse ornament is both simple and beautiful.
The serene cat is seated, looking down at an inquisitive mouse, who has its nose turned up towards the cat’s face.
Soapstone is the name given to rocks that contain a high amount of talc. It is also known as soap rock or steatite.
Most of the world’s soapstone originates from Kisii in the western highlands of Kenya, and so is home to the best soapstone artisans and carvers.
Before starting work, the stone must be immersed in water to make it softer and therefore easier to work with. Using a hammer and chisel the main shape is carved out and colour then added. A smaller knife, known as a kisu, is then used for the engraved design or illustration.
Soapstone is believed to have calming properties that can help a person adapt and cope with change
