OUR COLLECTION — ASIA — PHILIPPINES 341. CROCHETED NATIVITY
This hand-crocheted Nativity set is made by a group of impoverished women in the Philippines. The women make handmade items such as these figures in order to stay home with their families instead of working in other countries. The set was purchased at a Christmas market in the Philippines.
The Nativity set is crocheted from cotton yarn in vibrant colors. The set consists of 17 pieces: Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus, one angel holding a water jug, three shepherds, two donkeys, two sheep, three wise men, and three camels. The staffs held by Joseph and the shepherds are made from bamboo. The standing figures measure 4.5 inches tall.
