NATIVITIES FOR SALE — AFRICA — MALAWI VILLAGE NATIVITY (GROUP 1)

Picture
This Nativity is hand-carved from a hard wood called Afromosia, which has a very beautiful grain. The wood color varies naturally from medium to dark brown. ​The scene depicts the Holy Family under a hut, flanked by a tall tree. The Family is joined by six African animals: a giraffe, an elephant, an African buffalo, a rhino, a leopard, and a lion. Joseph stands 5.75 inches tall. The carved tree stands 9.5 inches tall.

These 11 figures comprise Group 1 of the full Nativity set. Group 2 contains different figures and is sold separately.
​
The scene is carved by Van Nyasulu from Nkhata Bay, Malawi. Van’s father is Symon Nyasulu, a renowned carver who started carving in the early 1970s. Symon started teaching his son to carve from the age of 6 until 14 when Symon passed away. After Symon’s death, Van developed a great desire to learn more about wood carving on his own, making this his full-time work ever since.
