Kisii Stone Holy Family Nativity

Hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone, this creche nativity scene depicts Baby Jesus, Mary and Jospeh set under a Christmas tree. The soapstone from the Tabaka Hills region of Kenya comes in a range of colors from white to pink to grey. As it is crafted, it goes through multiple stages of sanding and waxing which gives the soapstone a satiny finish. The SMOLart Self Help group in Tabaka, Kenya, provides jobs for over 1,000 soapstone carvers and their families. By marketing their work collectively, they invest in community projects like schools and libraries, ensuring opportunity for the entire village.
