Originating from the Tabaka Hills of Kenya, this elegant nativity scene features Mary and Joseph cradling baby Jesus, beautifully carved into a gracefully curved plaque. Each element is meticulously hand-carved by artisans, reflecting both the cultural heritage of the Kisii region and the artistry of traditional soapstone carving. The natural palette of the stone—ranging from serene white to gentle pink to soft grey—adds depth and harmony to the design. Finished through multiple stages of sanding and waxing, the sculpture has a smooth, satiny surface that enhances every detail. A meaningful centerpiece for the holidays, this piece makes a treasured gift for collectors, newlyweds, or anyone who appreciates finely crafted, fair trade art.
