OUR COLLECTION — LATIN AMERICA — PANAMA  255. SOAPSTONE NATIVITY

Picture
This Nativity is hand-carved from Panamanian soapstone, a volcanic rock largely composed of mineral talc and rich in magnesium. Soapstone carvings are found in two areas of Panama: in Boquete and in El Valle de Anton (where this set was purchased), located in the floor of an extinct volcano crater.

The set is composed of 10 pieces: Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the star, an angel, two donkeys, and three wise men. The height of the star is 6.75 inches tall, while the height of the other figures is approximately 4 inches tall.
​
The artist showed pride in his country by carving the word “Panama” on the front of the star.
