Stone? Candlestick

Our local auction house tends to put together very large mixed lots and most weeks I end up with a pile of unwanted bits and pieces. I always try to check them in case there is something I’m completely ignorant of.

This week it’s a small candle holder. It looks to be made of carved stone. It has a label with references on the bottom. They mean nothing to me. Can anybody help?

 

African soapstone.

 

Believe this is a Kisii stone (soapstone) carving from Kenya.

EDIT sniped by Brad before I refreshed

 

Thank you that's really helpful

 

Thank you that's really helpful too. It's always frustrating when that happens isn't it?

 

Agree with Brad and Aaron; but I do love a mystery, such as the label.
Upon reflection, I think it refers to the object as a "wee willie winkie" style candlestick, with figures of plants and animals.
Which would make sense, sort of, if one thought of a fish as an animal.
