Thomas Kumah Nedjoh carved this uniquely African nativity scene from Ofram wood.
Sitting in front of a hut, accompanied by shepherds and farm animals, the Holy Family receives the three Magi, represented as kings.
The first king bears a stool throne as symbol of Jesus’ majesty. The second king offers a gourd filled with gold. And the third king brings a state sword for oath-swearing. The man bearing a staff with a star is the spokesperson for the kings.
Nedjoh carve each piece by hand with sublime detail to create a moving and endearing scene.
The tallest piece is 9.5″ H x 5″ W x 3.5″ D. The smallest is 1.6″ H x 2.8″ W x 1.6″ D.
