Description from the seller

Grand handmade unique nativity scene, entirely crafted by hand, that unites the rocky architecture of the Sassi di Matera with the historic Neapolitan nativity tradition of San Gregorio Armeno.
The composition is developed vertically and animated by numerous shepherds, workshops and scenes of daily life. The interior lighting, functioning, enhances the depth of the caves and buildings, creating a warm and evocative atmosphere.
The central Nativity, placed in a cave carved into the rock, represents the spiritual hub of the work.
A nativity scene of great scenic impact, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of Italian presepe art.

Entirely handmade with traditional materials. The scene depicts an ancient village inspired by Matera, reinterpreted according to the Neapolitan school. Each element is cared for in detail: architectures, characters, pavements and lighting.
Non-industrial artwork, unique and unrepeatable.

Variety of Pupi, in terracotta and resin contemporary with time.
The Three Wise Men, included in the photos in the description even if not present in the nativity will be sent.
Some defects due to time may be present.
Careful and secure shipping; any customs duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
