Sculpture group antique nativity scene (15) - hand-painted hard gypsum

Vintage complete Nativity scene. Group of large and beautifully detailed antique Nativity images early 1930.

Their individual expression and detailing gives them a unique nostalgic look.

Height varies between 14 cm (kneeling) and 20 cm. From personal family property. Origin South-Germany. Material: hand-painted hard plaster. Total weight: 3.8 kg See photos for your own impression. Note: Nativity stable in photos is decorative element, not included.
