Description

A vintage Fontanini nativity scene, set in a manger constructed from natural materials of wood and moss. The painted polymer figurines depict a lamb, an ox, a donkey, the Virgin Mary, baby Jesus, and two kings. There is a loop at the top of the creche where an angel figure hung, which is not included in the set. The Italian Fontanini company has been making Nativity sets since 1908, and is famous for their use of natural moss and wood. Measurements are 16" x 21" x 9.5" Overall condition is good; some of the figures have minor wear and paint loss; one of the king figures has damage to his hands.
