Nativity scene (16) - Plaster - Christmas group

The figures of this Nativity scene are very detailed, especially the faces are clearly elaborated and expressive. It is of high quality, one of the better ones of its kind. The estimate is that it dates from the 1940s, given the provenance. An old lady played with it as a child. Therefore there are also small damages to be found; a child is playing…..the figures average about 20 cm tall when standing. I will add some straw to achieve the “stable” effect.
