This fair trade seven-piece Nativity set was handcrafted in Indonesia. The elongated figures are carved from Albizia wood and feature a contemporary silhouette with intricate, hand-painted details inspired by traditional patterns.

Djawa—also known as Java or Jawa—is Indonesia’s fourth-largest island and home to more than half of the country’s population.

This Nativity was sourced through a Fair Trade organization, ensuring artisans receive a fair wage for their work. Fair Trade prioritizes people over profits, supporting skilled craftspeople and their communities.
