OUR COLLECTION — AFRICA — NAMIBIA  123. OSTRICH EGG NATIVITY

Picture
This Nativity scene was hand-carved into an ostrich egg shell by Risto Iita, who is a university student and Christian in Namibia. The egg sits on a base that Risto coiled by hand from simple wire. The ostrich egg is approximately 5.25 inches tall by 4.5 inches wide. The stand is 6 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide.
​
Joseph and Mary watch over their baby while shepherds worship Him on the left side. Bethlehem and its star frame the Family from behind. African animals approach the Family from the right side. In addition to traditional sheep, Risto uses giraffes, zebras, and gazelles in his designs.
