Kenyan artisans showcase natural soapstone in a sweet sculpture of a songbird. Polished to a smooth finish, each bird sculpture may display small veins of color within the creamy white soapstone. Sold singly. Because these are handmade items crafted from a varying natural material, each is unique.

At Swahili Modern, we believe that adaptation helps traditional African craft forms thrive. Artisans can earn a living from the comfort of home by doing creative work, so they have options beyond seeking work in cities. Through export, skills inherited through generations—sometimes with deep-rooted cultural significance—continue to bring meaning, stability, and a sense of pride to entire communities.
