Description from the seller

Magnificent collection of ten unique vintage santons from a church in Provence. These terracotta clay figurines are popular in France at Christmas because they accompany the nativity scene. At the foot of the tree, you begin to gather all the villagers to await the birth of the child Jesus.
In many Provençal families, the santons are still a vibrant tradition. 'Santoun' means 'little saint' in Provençal.
These 28 cm high santons are handmade in France. They are unique and rare pieces!

They are in excellent condition, handmade, but a bit dusty and in need of love and care for those who love to collect them!

Fast and careful shipping!!!!
