We brought back a number of the ubuquitous small soapstone bowls (3-5" diameter with animal in center) when we went to Tanzania in 2005.
We're actually getting around to displaying our art and would prefer to have one more to even out the display. So where can I reliably get another of these small soapstone dishes??

They were everywhere we looked in TZ but now I don't know where to find one.

Thanks!

I tried ebay, no luck. Anyone know a website? Or wanna bring one back for me? ;-) j/k.

Oh, and typos bug me so, "ubiquitous"

I'm sure there's someplace in the States that sells items from Africa, but if you want to check the Collector's Den in Nairobi (they have a website) I'm sure you'll find something.

Is this what you're looking for:

I Googled "Soap Stone, Tanzania" and a bunch of on line vendors came up. Saw quite a few bowls.

schlegal- take a look on the Collectors Den website, and if there is one you can find that matches, email me at lyndadswain at telus dot net, I wil pick gladly pick it up for you in May.

We will be going to the Collectors Den on the last day in Nairobi, and I'd love to bring you one back - we can ship it to you once we are back.

Thanks, all!!

Sandi - Perfect. Collector's den has what I want so I will try to contact them.

Marija - Not quite--I saw that in my searches and it doesn't quite fit the bill

VeeR - I did that, too, but when I click through, they aren't what I am looking for.

LyndaS- AW! That is an incredibly nice offer. Really, really kind of you. I am going to look at the site, now. If I can't easily order it myself, I will contact you.
