Soapstone Dog Carving from Peru - Red, Tan or Gray

This little soapstone dog, hand carved by artisans in Peru, stands with its head raised in a howling pose and has yellow eyes. It stands about 1.625 inches tall, 1.375 inches long and 0.5 inches thick.

Choose red, tan or gray. Add it to a shelf of animal figurines, tuck it into a planter or fairy garden, or give it to a dog lover as a small keepsake or memorial gift. At this price, it is an easy add-on to any order.

Soapstone is very soft and scratches easily, so dust it with a dry cloth rather than washing it and keep it away from harder stones. It is small enough to be a choking hazard for young children and pets. Each carving varies in shape and color.

About Soapstone

Soapstone is a metamorphic rock made mainly of talc, the softest mineral at 1 on the Mohs scale. Softer grades feel like soap, which gives it its name, and its softness makes it easy to carve, so it has been used for figures for thousands of years.
