Carvers in Kenya's western highlands craft the basic form for a lidded pencil box from soft soapstone and non toxic dyes. Artisans in a Nairobi workshop then add a deep black dyed finish and etched details.

Great for storing pencils, incense, or any other little treasure.

Sold singly. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly.

Brian ★★★★★

I grabbed this as a gift for my dad and the deep black finish with the delicate etched details feels much more premium than the price suggests. The lid slides on smoothly and the soapstone has a cool, weighty feel that makes it a nice desk piece, not just a box.

Daniel O. ★★★★★

The etched lines on the lid are finer than I expected, and the deep black finish feels smooth and solid in the hand. It's a small thing, but the lid fits snugly and doesn't slide around, which makes it great for keeping pens and pencils organized on my desk.

Abigail B. ★★★★★

The lid fits snugly enough that I don’t worry about pencils sliding out when I toss it in my bag, and the deep black finish has a nice matte weight to it. My desk feels a little more put-together just having it out.
