Soapstone Hippo Red

Discover the enchantment of African artistry with our Red Hippo Soapstone, meticulously carved by the talented women of the Tabaka cooperative in Kenya. Founded to alleviate the hardships faced in the Kisii region, this cooperative is a cornerstone of fair trade practices, supported by Mr. Ellie Pooh's commitment to ensuring artisans receive just compensation and access to broader markets.

Fashioned from soapstone, known for its soft texture and heft, each hippo is a testament to the artisan's handiwork, offering a unique piece with no two exactly alike. The deep red hue captures the spirit of the savannah, making it a vibrant addition to any collection.

Measuring between 2 to 3 inches in height and 3 to 4 inches from nose to tail, these soapstone hippos fit perfectly on any desk or shelf, inviting a touch with their smooth finish. Our range includes a spectrum of colors and styles, encouraging you to find the piece that speaks to you.
