OUR COLLECTION — AFRICA — LIBERIA  471. PHILIP'S NATIVITY

Picture
This Nativity set was carved from mahogany wood by Philip Yeagon in Monrovia, Liberia. The scene contains 10 figures: the Holy Family, a shepherd with a lamb across his shoulders, a donkey, a cow, a camel, and three wise men. The shepherd stands 9.25 inches tall.

​Philip is a woodcarver with 36 years of experience in his trade. He is married with two children. Like all Liberians, he was greatly affected by the terrible civil wars in Liberia that ended in 2003, where hundreds of thousands of Liberians were killed or displaced. He writes of the current difficulties of providing for his family: “It is not really easy here in Liberia to have children feeding and schooling at the same time. I find it hard to have my two children in school every year, simply because of the hardship that is in this country and the situation we find ourselves in.”
