OUR COLLECTION — AFRICA — MALI 437. TEAK NATIVITY WITH CAMELS
This Nativity set is carved from teak wood by an artist named Pascal. He lived in Bamako, Mali. Finding Nativities in Mali is not easy because it is a Muslim country, but artists in local markets will make them upon request.
The set includes 15 figures: The Holy Family, a shepherd holding a lamb, a shepherd with a round hat holding a walking stick, two zebu cattle, a donkey, a sheep, three wise men, and three camels. The standing camel measures 6.5 inches tall. Joseph stands 4.5 inches tall.
