OUR COLLECTION — ASIA — MONGOLIA  147. TSEGTSMAA FUR NATIVITY

Picture
This Nativity set is handcrafted in Mongolia by Tsegtsmaa. She made by hand all of the figures and animals, even using a lathe to make the wood bodies.

The Holy Family is presented with a wool ger—the traditional nomadic dwelling in Mongolia. Gers that Mongolians live in today are folded up and transported when the nomads move from place to place. The ger in this set comes completely furnished inside with typical Mongolian household items. The furnishings are so detailed that the home even has a portrait of Genghis Khan (national hero) on the wall and a statue of Buddha on the mantle.

The set includes Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus in his manger, a shepherd boy, two sheep, three camels, three wise men, and the ger. The ger measures 7 inches in diameter and stands 4.5 inches tall. The people are about 5.5 inches tall.
​
Mary’s costume reflects the traditional Mongolian woman’s costume, which is very bright and lavishly decorated. She wears a collar with her costume to denote that she is a married woman. All of the fur hats are marmot fur. The camels, sheep, and ger are made of thick wool felt.
