The Shuka Clamshell Nativity showcases the bold, joyful spirit of traditional Maasai shuka cloth in a compact, handcrafted holiday piece. Made in a clamshell-inspired shape with a flat backing and a gently concave interior, it opens to reveal a rustic nativity scene formed from banana fiber and corn husk. The exterior is covered in brightly colored shuka fabrics, each featuring its own lively patterns and hues, making every piece in the collection visually distinct while still tied together by the recognizable beauty of shuka textiles.
Inside, the handcrafted figures are accented with simple, meaningful details that bring warmth and texture to the scene. A cowrie shell loop closure adds a traditional finishing touch and keeps the piece neatly secured. Full of color, culture, and charm, this nativity makes a memorable artisan gift or a standout addition to your Christmas décor.
