OUR COLLECTION — ASIA — MONGOLIA 60. WOOL HANGING HOLY FAMILY (CAUCASIAN)
This handmade hanging of the Holy Family comes from Mongolia. The pattern is burned onto sheep wool felt using wood-burning tools. The hanging measures 20.5 inches tall by 12 inches wide.
The hanging was made by our friend Bayaraa, a disabled Christian artisan in Mongolia. (Mongolians do not use last names.) Bayaraa is disabled from a back injury and must use a wheelchair. He lives in a ger, which is a traditional Mongolian nomadic tent. Bayaraa used an American drawing as his model for this scene; the original is called "The Nativity" by Ted Henninger.
