Description from the seller
A beautiful complete vintage nativity set from the 1950s-1960s. Material: papier-m e2ch e9. Origin and marked with Italy. The camel is marked with a stamp and the donkey with an embossed relief. This vintage nativity set consists of 17 pieces, including Mary, Baby Jesus, Joseph, the ox and the donkey, three shepherds, three sheep, three kings, a camel, the camel boy, and the angel.
Beautiful hand-painted faces and clothes. Some photos are a bit lighter in color; in reality the figures are more beautiful. The nativity set is in good to reasonable condition. It is possible that the donkey, the camel boy, and the angel are made of a different material, they are a bit heavier. The little sheep are made of plaster. Normal signs of wear for the age; the angel is missing one wing, see detail photo. Some bases are partly re-glued in a previous period. See detail photos. The tallest figure is 13 cm tall. Photos are part of the description. The nativity set will be well packed and shipped with traceability. NOTE: NO SHIPPING OUTSIDE EUROPE.
