Nativity
 

Wooden nativity figures and stables that just came my way and took my fancy. All nativity is brought together under the "Nativity" page, while under the "Papier-maché" figures in that material are there.

Wooden nativity set, made in Africa, probably in the 1950s. It seems it is made of ebony. The kings are about 13cm high.
Wooden nativity, with the figures also made of wood and painted very attractively. The stable is 20cm high, 30cm wide and the base 7,5cm deep. The stable is made for hanging because of the hole in the back. This comes from Belgium: on the base is written "Leopoldsburg 1949" and "30/7/49 Aandenken van onze Lieve zuster † Zaliger Marieke Leuven" (Rememberance of our Dear † Late sister Marieke Leuven)

I think this stable is jigsaw work from instructions from a magazine or such; it is ca 40cm high, the base is 50cm wide by 34cm;
the "NB" figures set did not come with the stable.

Wooden stable with figures in jigsaw work, with die-cuts glued to them; dimensions: 19cm x 15,5cm high and 4cm deep
