This is a 6-piece Nativity Crèche from the Berbers of Algeria, 4 men (Joseph and the 3 shepherds), Virgin Mary holding a baby (Jesus) and a Berber rug. First type set ever selling on the Internet and anywhere in the world made by the same artist.
Never realised before by any other artist.
This is the first time ever that an Algerian Berber nativity set/Creche was hand designed, hand moulded and hand painted by a known Algerian Berber artist. She has devoted most of her life sculpting her Algerian Berber ancestors such as Mouloud Mammeri, Massinissa, Jugurtha, Mouloud Feraoun, Si moh u mhend, Lala Fatma N Soumer and so on using Algerian Clay, then moulding it in using Plaster, concrete, stone, resin, etc. This set is made with Plaster to reduce the weight in the shipping and in the handling. The Rug is not plaster but a more flexible material that can be made out of straw, fabric, rug, etc.
All dressed up in ancient Algerian Berber clothes using paint, all sitting or standing on a Berber Rug from North Africa. The dress of the woman is called Takesiwt and wearing Amendil on her head and the capes of the men are called Avernus and wearing tacacit on their heads. A purely Algerian Berber culture whose religion is 95% Muslim with a very small Christian population.
This set is extremely unique, we guarantee that no one in the world has got it identical as everything is handmade and hand painted from scratch. This is real piece of art and extremely unique.
The pictures you see here are just samples made for some customers in the past; and you will get a set that is similar to them but not exactly the same. Let the artist surprise you with her finest art of moulding and the uniqueness of the pieces. Very detailed pieces knowing they were all made with clay to start off.
The size of the standing men is around 18cm high and the sitting ones are around 12cm high.
Ask any questions you want and we will happily answer them all one by one on the same day if possible.
The price you pay is for the artwork done by the artist, nothing is done with a machine, this is not a mass produced product.
The set will be shipped directly from Algeria, therefore please allow around 30 days to receive it. Please be patient, and do not pressure the artist. Patience makes great results. The set will be made from scratch.
Please note also that if you are interested in more figures, we can organise that, please let us know.

La robe que j'ai commandé était très satisfaisante, elle est arrivé largement dans les temps, et les changements que j'avais demandé ont été pris en compte et les mesures ont été bien appliquées et la robe m'allait très bien. En gros pas de points négatifs hors mis une toute petite tache de feutre qu'on a essayer d'enlever ce qui a un peu altéré le tissus sur le devant, mais je pense que ça arrive rarement. Je recommande donc ce site à tous le monde, la qualité est irréprochable. Je referai commande sans hésitation. Et surtout assistance et service après vente plus que satisfaisant, merci pour cela.

Azul fellawen Cela fait quelques semaines que j'ai découvert ce site berbére et c'est presque chaque jour que je rentre pour l'exploiter de plus en plus. Ce que j'ai aimé dans ton site Hacene est le fait que tu as inclus un peu de tout : la poésie, l'histoire, les traditions,........etc .De penser a inclure : les sites, les travaux, accomplies par les autres ma beaucoup touché, car cela prouve ta bonne foie de vouloir valoriser et rendre connu tout ce qui a rapport avec nous les berberes. Je t'encourage a perseverer Hacene et de y aller plus loin avec ca. L'Australie est un pays ou notre communauté ne se retrouve pas trop, alors j'imagine qu'il faut plus de travail et d'efforts qu'ailleurs , Mais je comprends également que vous avez le plus important : la volonté et la patience .

I bought a hat and ceramic ashtray. I was very happy with the prices for handmade quality and style. I think it is a fabulous idea to sell handicrafts from Algeria and North Africa.
