Description
Three palm trees gently bend to shelter the holy family in this wonderful nativity set from Zimbabwe. The palm trees and base are made from metal, and the holy family figures are carved from serpentine and springstone.
Serpentine stone varies in colors from mottled blacks, browns and greens. Springstone is a hard serpentine and the rock emerges from the quarry with beautiful contrasting textures and colors ready to be carved.
Measures approximately 7.5 inches tall, 6 inches wide, 5 inches deep.
This nativity set was acquired through a Fair Trade organization. Fair trade pays artisans a fair price for their work and puts people first, not profits.

Sheltered under Palms
This is a lovely piece, although the one that I received does not have the coppery appearance of the set pictured here. Mine is dark gray. I do not think that detracts from its beauty.
