Description from the seller

A beautiful scene with Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus, complemented by the three kings, a shepherd, three sheep, a donkey, and a horse.

Figures are not marked, but they are typical of the maker's model: Marolin.

The company Marolin boasts a long history. Founded around 1900 in Thuringia, it has long been a family business. The focus was on Christmas figures and native figures with high-quality hand painting. Due to the decreasing importance of these genres, the production of animals was taken over in the 1960s by the company LINEOL. The composition figures were quickly scaled and produced in plastic through injection molding. Due to expropriation in the former GDR in the 1970s, the company was called 'VEB Marolin,' later 'VEB Plaho'.
