The Shuka Reds Clamshell Nativity celebrates the iconic beauty of traditional Maasai shuka textiles in rich shades and patterns of red. Each piece is crafted in a clamshell-inspired shape, with a flat base and a gently concave interior that holds a miniature depiction of the Holy Family. The exterior is covered in varied red shuka fabrics, creating a collection where no two pieces look exactly alike—some feature bold checks, others fine stripes, each reflecting the character of the cloth it’s wrapped in.
Inside, banana-fiber and corn-husk figures form a warm, rustic nativity scene accented with subtle handmade details. A cowrie shell loop closure adds a meaningful finishing touch while keeping the clamshell neatly closed. Compact, colorful, and deeply tied to East African tradition, this nativity makes a memorable gift and a standout piece for holiday décor.
