Description
We have added a new country to our nativity scene collection - Zambia! This Zambian nativity is crafted from colorful batik fabrics and wire wrapped with yarn and sisal. These materials are all sourced from recycled scraps that would otherwise be discarded. Artists in Zambia use these materials to hand craft these vibrant nativity scenes and are paid a fair wage for their work.
The nativity figures stand approximately 6 inches tall. The stable is approximately 11 inches high x 8.5 inches wide x 2 inches deep.
The wire figures may be shaped and positioned to your liking. Some slight bending may occur in transit so please just re-shape any figures that may topple over. One of the standing figures may need to be positioned alongside the stable for extra support in standing. It may take a little patience the first time you set up your Zambian nativity.
This nativity was acquired from Zambia through a Fair Trade importation. Fair Trade pays a fair wage to otherwise impoverished people.

Zambian Nativity set
The product has just arrived. Four figures are missing (Saint Joseph, Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus among them), and the Nativity set makes no sense without them.I would like to have it completed or been given a solution or compensation.

Zambian nativity scene
The exuberance and joy that emanates from this display is catching. The only reason for the four stars is that setting this up can be tricky

Glorious!
This scene made by Kelvin Mwa is full of joy and energy--well made by untrained artist--and it's wonder-full!
