Hand-carved from natural soapstone, this set celebrates both the Nativity story and the artistry of Kenya’s Kisii region. Each figure (Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and two gentle animals) fits neatly into a carved base shaped like the African continent. The creamy stone, with its subtle variations in color, highlights the natural beauty of the material and the simple grace of the design. A meaningful piece perfect for a modern or global holiday display.
