Heavy Hand-Carved Kenyan Soapstone Bird & Lizard Candle Holder

Very heavy solid hand-carved Kenyan soapstone decorative piece, consistent with Kisii soapstone carvings, featuring a bird perched over a natural-style base with lizards, leaf details, and openings that appear suitable for candles, small tealights, or display. It has a neutral beige, tan, and grey carved stone finish with natural colour variation throughout. This is a substantial piece, weighing approximately 24 lbs. It is solid and heavy, not hollow. I do not see a maker’s mark or label. See photos for measurements, weight, and condition. If the ad is up, it is available. Please do not send the generic “Is this available?” message. Message with the item you want and when you can pick up, or ask specific questions after reading the description and viewing the photos. Pickup is in St. Catharines near Bunting Road and Welland Ave. I do not hold items due to cancellations and no-shows. Same-day pickup is preferred. If pickup is arranged for another day and someone else shows interest before your pickup time, I will message you first and give you the first chance to confirm and pick up same day before moving on.
