OUR COLLECTION — AFRICA — KENYA 385. HOLY FAMILY IN HAND OF GOD
This Holy Family is carved from rosewood by Daudi Mukungu. Artisans like Daudi do their carving during the day, and then often work other jobs (such as security guards) during the night to meet their financial needs.
The set was sent to us from our friend Steven, who runs an artisan workshop in a slum called Gikomba near the city center of Nairobi, Kenya. Steven also runs an orphan school to help educate the underprivileged; he works very hard to help others.
The set includes Joseph holding a staff, Mary kneeling, and baby Jesus nestled in the Hand of God for His crib. Joseph measures 10 inches tall.
