A hand-carved nativity set made of soapstone, traditionally crafted by artisans from the Kisii region in Kenya.

Features of the set
Material: Each figurine is made from natural soapstone (also called Kisii stone), a soft stone that is mined and worked by hand. The natural color varies from cream and pink to gold and gray within a single piece.

Contents: The set consists of Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus in the manger, the three wise men, two shepherds with sheep, a donkey and an ox.
The Christmas angel compliments the set.
The pieces measure up to 7.5 cm.

Finishing: The figures are sanded in multiple stages and waxed, which gives them a silky-smooth finish.
