Product Features:
Story Behind the Art:
Esther Kariuki is an independent artisan who, in her area of Kenya, near Kitui, has organized and trained women in her village to use the dried fiber of the banana plant, which would normally be discarded. The banana fiber is first dried, and then a light varnish applied. Once this process is complete craftspeople cut the fiber into thin strips to make items, including boxes, Bao Bab trees and mobiles.

Delicate and Unusual
The nativity set arrived very quickly & the first surprise was how lovely the banana leaf box is. Each character is delicately realized - I don't mean fragile - each has an almost whimsical quality. As one who lived for 21 years in Africa, I love the simplicity of design. If you like pretty, painted/detailed nativities this may not be for you. If you like African art or unusual interpretations of common themes, this is for you! I am buying another set to give as a gift..

Kenyan nativity
The set came exactly as expected. The description is true to form. Figurines were beautifully done, and the storage box is handy (and also beautifully done). Shipping was prompt. No surprises. I gave this as a wedding gift and the bride/groom were ecstatic with it.

Excellent service and product
This was a handcrafted Nativity set from Africa. This was a "fair trade" gift purchase. The set itself is precious beyond description: it is truly handmade, from rough, homely materials. It expresses the spirit and the purpose of the Christmas season far better than any other gift we received or gave. It came in a beautiful, handcrafted box as well, which was a complete surprise.
