Trade Soapstone Mudfish
Coaster Set |

Able to breath out of water,
and attributed with mythical powers, the mudfish has been an icon of
wealth and divine power in Africa. It's ability to move across land and

divinity. Heady thoughts to contemplate while this set of six soapstone
coasters keeps your cups and glasses from making their mark elsewhere.
