Small Chichi Nativity
$49.00
$70.00
DESCRIPTION: This lovely wooden nativity scene is 4" tall (the largest figures) and carved by hand from pine wood by a Guatemalan artisan. Each figure is painted with unique, colorful floral patterns. The set is lightweight but sturdy, meaning it should last you for many years. The dark forest green robes have bright flowers painted on them so that the sets are fun and bright. The figurine of baby Jesus comes separately from his crib because the Guatemalan tradition is to hide the baby and only put him out in the crib on Christmas Eve.
The artist who crafts these nativities always makes unique patterns; each set is one-of-a-kind and therefore the perfect Christmas collectible. Each nativity scene has 9 pieces: Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the crib, the three wise men, and the kneeling cow and donkey. The cow's ears and horns can be removed for safe storage. *Please note that these small pieces must be kept out of reach of very small children, because they may be a choking hazard.*
PRODUCT DETAILS:
Materials: Pine wood
Measurements: All of the standing figures are 4” tall including the base + the base is 2” wide x 1.5” deep
Every nativity set is hand carved and hand painted, so they may vary slightly in terms of color from those pictured
Care: Wipe the figurines down with a damp cloth as needed. They should be kept away from extreme temperatures or conditions, as these can cause the wood to split.
IMPACT: Siggy Handmade has worked in Guatemala for over 40 years to create modern handmade goods using ancestral techniques. They build long-term relationships (many over 15 years!) with Guatemalan artisans and to help end the cycle of poverty by providing financial stability to talented artisans and their communities ♥

Hand Carved Nativity Hut
$30.80
$44.00
DESCRIPTION: Artisans begin with a log from a Jacaranda or Musave tree to craft this Nativity Hut. They use a machete to carve out the shape of the hut, then refine the shape, carving out the interior. Another woodcarver works on the figures, and sometimes the artisans’ wives help with sanding, while their young children play nearby. From the faith and imagination of our artisan partners, these Nativity Huts depict Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus taking shelter in a traditional Rwandan home. A beautiful addition to your Christmas celebration.
PRODUCT DETAILS:
Measurement: 9 inches tall
Material: Jacaranda or Musave tree with a Natural Beeswax finish
