Silver Origami Nativity Set, 12 pieces

Description

Origami is a passion of mine. I've been refining the designs on this set for nearly a year. A challenge to create, this is truly a unique and unusual item.

Each piece of this nativity set is carefully hand folded from .999 fine silver, highly polished, and glued to a dark stained walnut base. Every figure except the sheep use over 10 grams of silver each.

The wise men are nearly 3 inches high, Mary and Joseph are just over 2 inches tall. The cow and donkey are over 2 inches long each, including tails.
Including the stand, the Angel's wing tips are just over 4 inches off the ground. She has a ring soldered to the middle of her back, which fits over a hook on the stand, so she can be removed from the stand for storage.

Set includes:
Jesus
Mary
Joseph
Angel (with hanging stand)
3 Wise Men
Shepherd
Donkey
Cow
2 Sheep (on one base)

THIS IS NOT A TOY.
Not intended for children.
The pieces are delicate, and will not stand up to play or rough handling.

This will ship in a padded cardboard box, with each piece individually wrapped in tissue and foam rubber. I take the utmost care in packaging my origami so that it arrives in the same condition it left my home.

Price includes shipping to anywhere in the United States. For shipping outside the US, please contact me first. Some countries prohibit the importation of large quantities of silver, or charge very high customs fees.
