The Kente Clamshell Nativity brings a vibrant touch of West African heritage to a classic holiday scene. Crafted in a clamshell-inspired shape, this piece features a flat base paired with a softly concave interior that holds a miniature depiction of the Holy Family. The outside is covered in striking kente-pattern fabric, known for its geometric motifs and rich cultural symbolism. Inside, finely made banana-fiber and corn-husk figures sit within the natural-toned backdrop, accented with small handmade touches that give the scene warmth and character. A cowrie shell loop closure completes the design, adding a traditional coastal element and keeping the nativity neatly shut when displayed or gifted. Compact yet full of detail, this piece makes a meaningful addition to any Christmas collection or an unforgettable artisan gift.
