Sculpture, Forme di Formaggio Presepe Napoletano fine 800 - 9 cm - Earthenware

Neapolitan Nativity scene, handmade "two rows of cheese shapes" Neapolitan craftsmanship, late 1800s. The terracotta miniature technique is hand-painted in polychromy to create real works of art formed plastically as shapes with the cross-section visible through the slices, placed in the market area among passersby, to best convey the idea of 18th-century Naples with the Bourbon kings.

The first row of cheeses with a black rind measures 9 cm high, 6 cm wide, 5.5 cm deep.
The second row of cheeses with a light rind measures 6.5 cm high, 3.5 cm wide, 3.9 cm deep. There are signs of time, small imperfections; all visible in the photos.
