The Story Behind the Product
35 year old Fahim Khan has been shaping stone into exquisite design since he was a 12 years old. His father was a government employee, so Khan had to learn the craft from other craftsmen. In Agra, where Khan lives, the primary crafts are leatherworking and stone working. Khan choose to work on stone and now makes soapstone chess-sets as well as many other decorative and utilitarian items, including candle-holders, Taj Mahal replicas and more. He says it takes over 15 days to carve a full set of chess pieces and ready the board. The final product sells for over 1300 rupees in the market. Ansari supports his large family; including his parents, his wife, and four sons.

ummm...
i bought several of them to keep as gifts for friends who might be having babies. so far i have given two. they were very diffeent in color, one was like oatmeal, the other was a rich brown and almost looked like wood. they're sort of "cheap" looking. i half expected something a little nicer.

very cute
I got this as a gift for my best friend. The carving is very beautiful, but I was surprised at how easily the foot broke off of the elephant. As we were unwrapping it from the bubble wrap and brown paper that it shipped in, the right, front foot just broke right off. :( I was so sad. You would think that "stone" would be a little more durable.
