OUR COLLECTION — AFRICA — ZAMBIA 358. TEAK WOOD NATIVITY
This Nativity is hand-carved from teak wood by an artisan named Joseph in the Kawabata Village, just outside Lusaka, Zambia. The carver sits under a tree all day long, chipping away at the hard wood with primitive tools. Each Nativity requires one week to complete. The scene includes the Holy Family, a shepherd, a wise man, a giraffe, two elephants, and two baby hippos. The standing shepherd measures 7.5 inches tall.
Proceeds from the sale of this Nativity benefit an organization dedicated to supporting orphans in Zambia and other countries.
