🌍 The Story Behind the Art:
Each menorah is hand-carved from Kisii soapstone, a stone found only in the hills of southwestern Kenya. The mining and carving process is labor-intensive, with artisans using simple tools like shovels, picks, axes, and machetes to extract large blocks of soapstone. These blocks are then carefully carved into beautiful works of art.
