OUR COLLECTION — AFRICA — ETHIOPIA 117. MOLASSES COOKIE NATIVITY
This clay Nativity set was purchased for us in the gift shop of the Hilton hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The set includes the Holy Family, a shepherd, three wise men, and three animals (a donkey, a longhorn sheep, and a zebu cattle). The wise men measure 6 inches tall.
The favorite feature of this set is that baby Jesus looks like an iced oatmeal molasses cookie! Another interesting feature is that Mary has so much black paint around her eyes that she looks like she has two big black eyes.
