Featuring polished natural hardwood figures and intricately woven garments in rich saffron gold and burgundy, each piece brings together contrasting textures, warm colors, and thoughtful details. Carved wooden heads and a shepherd's staff complete the figures, while a natural fiber manger provides a fitting finishing touch.

Created through a collaboration between woodcarvers and weaving artisans, this nativity celebrates the creativity and craftsmanship of Ugandan makers. The handwoven diamond-patterned garments and carefully carved wooden details make each set a distinctive expression of traditional artistry and a meaningful addition to your Christmas décor.
