African Nativity Set / Handmade Christmas Crib with Stable

Bring the Christmas story to life with this handmade African nativity set. A small house-shaped stable with a star on the roof holds the holy family, and the figures are shaped by hand in a tall, slim style that is full of grace. Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus rest in a woven manger, with animals close by and shepherds and other visitors standing around the scene.

Each figure stands on its own round base, so you can arrange the scene the way you like, near the manger or spread across a shelf or table. The front panel of the stable folds open to form the ground. The natural brown, cream, and black tones of the plant materials give the set a warm, earthy look that suits both traditional and modern homes.

The set is made for display at Christmas, on a mantel, sideboard, window sill, or table, and it also works as a keepsake for collectors and a meaningful gift for family and friends. It is for decoration only and is not a toy. Each set is made by hand, so size, color, and detail vary slightly from set to set.
