OUR COLLECTION — AFRICA — ETHIOPIA  116. CLAY NATIVITY WITH BACKDROP

Picture
This clay Nativity with backdrop was crafted by Bethel Women Training Project, a vocational program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, that provides training and stable employment for destitute young women. The initiative and necessary finance were provided by young Ethiopian women. The artisans’ creations are based on Ethiopian traditional artistic methods.
​
The set includes the Holy Family, a shepherd, three wise men, and three animals (a donkey, a longhorn sheep, and one zebu cattle). The wise men measure 3.5 inches tall. The clay backdrop measures 5.5 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide. An interesting feature of the backdrop is that two angels and a star are carved into the outside of the backdrop. The cutouts in the backdrop accentuate the angels’ wings.
