Handcrafted Wood Christmas Ornaments (Set of 3), "Priests"
Daniel Nyadedzor takes his inspiration from the Bible for these charming Christmas ornaments. The passage tells how Mary and Joseph brought little Jesus to the temple to receive Simon's blessing. "I thought of the ancient priests and how they looked, and then carved these faces," Nyadedzor says.
Because each ornament is individually carved and painted by hand, the features may vary slightly from those pictured.

"Perfect!"
I just received these wonderful ornaments and could not be more pleased. They look just like they are pictured on-site. I plan to use them as part of my permanent wall decor as apposed to using them as Christmas decorations. I have ordered two different sets of this wonderful artists other creations and they are equally wonderful. Highly recommended!

"Perfectly sized for Christmas Ornaments"
Another well-made set of African artwork to add to my cultural Christmas decor. The painted finish did need a bit of polish for the beauty of the details to shine, however.
