Description

"I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words."

Introducing "Helping Hugs: Be Kind to One Another", a beautifully hand-carved African soapstone sculpture that stands as a testament to unity, understanding, and the power of human connection. This piece features two figures of different races and ethnicities engaged in an embrace - a visual representation of Martin Luther King's powerful message that we should not be judged by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character.

Measures 4 inches (Height) x 3 inches (Length) x 3 inches (Width) and weighs approximately 14.9 ounces.

Each sculpture is carved from African soapstone, sourced directly from the Tabaka region of Kenya, renowned for its rich reserves of this unique material. Known for its softness and ease of carving, soapstone has been part of the Kenyan culture for centuries, with artisans passing down their skills through generations. This piece is more than just a sculpture - it's a piece of Kenyan heritage, brought to life by the hands of a skilled craftsman.

By adding "A Helping Hug" to your home decor, you're not only making a statement about your commitment to unity and acceptance but also incorporating a piece of Mother Africa into your living space. This sculpture serves as a daily reminder of the world's diversity and the importance of kindness and understanding. Let this soapstone sculpture inspire conversations, foster understanding, and bring a touch of African culture into your home.

These items are handmade so there can be slight and subtle variations in size, color, and shape. This makes each sculpture unique and a true piece of African art. 

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
