This carved chess king was created by artisans in western Kenya using traditional Kisii soapstone. The figure is shaped entirely by hand, giving it a distinctive silhouette and subtle asymmetries that reflect individual craftsmanship rather than molded production. The natural stone is finished with a pink and white marbled wash, a decorative technique commonly applied to highlight the stone’s smooth surface and organic veining. The piece stands approximately 4 inches tall. Condition: Good used condition with natural variations in the stone and light wear consistent with handmade soapstone carvings.
The African Hand-Carved Pink Soapstone King Chess Piece is ideal for those seeking a unique chess piece as a distinctive addition to their gaming room.
