Can You Spot the Mokorotlo in this Nativity Set?
We've just discovered that our nativity set from Lesotho includes a Mokorotlo : the national symbol of Lesotho!
What is a Mokorotlo? It is a hat made from Mosea grass and said to be inspired by the Qiloane Mountain.
The Mokorotlo is even pictured on the flag of Lesotho.
If you look at the wiseman dressed in animal print, you will see he is wearing a woven Mokorotlo!
We've always loved our nativity set from Letotho , but this extra detail makes it extra special!
