Kisii Stone T light Holder - Lime Green

Description

This hand carved and painted T light holder in bright and bold lime green jumped out at me.  It is Fair Trade and made in Kenya where your purchase makes a real difference.  

Kisii Stone (soap stone) is hand mined without machinery in south western Kenya. The regional capital is Kisii from which the stone is named.

Each piece of stone is hand carved, a highly specialised job. The stone is then sanded and painted, and finally polished.

Sales of carved Kisii stone provides income for artisans and their families who help in the production process.

For use with T lights. You may like to try our gorgeously scented Organic Goodness T lights.
