This listing is for the 3pc nativity - plus a manger (hay feeder) - --
--------- the manger is the hay feeder where baby Jesus sleeps --
**********************************
Photos are of sample sets - showing the 3 piece set in translucent white
These nativity sets are truly unique and are my own design.
Each figure is thrown on the potters' wheel using a porcelain clay.
The robes or capes are hand-draped to show all of the folds and creases in the "fabric".
When dry, all edges are smoothed.
No two figures are ever exactly alike, each one is signed on the inside.
No lead in the glazes.
Joseph is standing with a walking stick,
Mary is on her knees, and baby Jesus is wrapped in swaddling.
Approx. sizes:
Joseph - 4.5" to 5" tall x2"
Mary - 3.5" tall x3.5"
Baby Jesus - 1"x1/2"
** plus a manger **

This photo shows a sample set. Your set will be carefully made by hand and very much the same but no 2 sets are ever exactly the same - part of the beauty in hand-made.
--------------------------------
For years, I had the wrong idea, I thought the manger was the stable -(maybe it was just me ??)
( Definition of manger -- a long open box or trough for horses or cattle to eat from.
synonyms: trough, feeding trough, feeder, crib-----)
the set does not include a stable - the building where they stay
