Nativity scene - Papier-mache - Neapolitan craftsmanship - 40 cm

An artisanal Nativity scene in the late 19th-century Neapolitan traditional style, crafted with natural materials such as shells, cork, and moss, that evokes the historic marine crèches (as well as the Trapani artistic tradition) and indeed the miniature Neapolitan handcrafted creations, as in this case.
