Compass Soapstone Sculpture

Hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone by African artisans, this natural stone compass is a beautiful piece of  art! Made from dark grey natural soapstone, it blends well with any decor and works well on a desk.  The significance of the compass as a metaphoric guiding point is a great reference of strength to support a friend. Great gift for men!
