OUR COLLECTION — AFRICA — ZIMBABWE  290. 2ND PAINTED NATIVITY

Picture
This Nativity set from Zimbabwe was made by John Chonyoni. He lives in a rural area near Rusape, about 200 miles from Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. John’s entire family is involved in making the pieces: chopping the jacaranda tree, carving, sanding, painting, etc.
​
The set includes nine pieces hand-carved from Jacaranda wood and painted by hand: Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus in a manger, three wise men, and three shepherds each holding a lamb. The set is painted in cheerful colors and patterns. The jacaranda tree is famous for its grain, quality, and beautiful purple flower when in bloom. Each figure is 11 inches tall.
