Description
Originating from the Tabaka Hills of Kenya, this captivating piece features Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the three wise men, shepherds, and an array of animals, all set beneath a radiant star. Each element of this nativity scene is meticulously carved and set upon a gracefully curved plaque, showcasing the intricate artistry and deep cultural heritage of the Kisii region. The soapstone’s natural palette—ranging from serene white to gentle pink and sophisticated grey—creates a harmonious and elegant display. The stone undergoes several stages of sanding and waxing, resulting in a smooth, satiny finish that highlights the detailed craftsmanship. This nativity scene is not only a stunning addition to any collection but also a meaningful gift, ideal for collectors, newlyweds, or anyone who appreciates finely crafted, ethical art. Great gift for the nativity collector or wedding gift. Measures Approximately: 6.5 inches wide and 5.75 tall. Because a variety of communities carve the statue, expect designs variations and color variation in the natural stone. Story Behind the Art: Each sculpture is artfully hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, found only in the hills of southwestern Kenya. Mining the soapstone from surface hills is a labor-intensive process, using little to no machinery. Laborers work with shovels, picks, axes and machetes to carve out large soapstone chucks. The large pieces of stone are cut using pangas (large knives) and then brought to the workshop for carving and finishing. Each etching is intricately carved by hand. Fair Trade: * Socially responsible products that empower consumers to purchase according to their values and help alleviate global poverty. * Fair Trade is an alternative business model that values safe workplaces, fair wages and community investment.
