Description
This ceramic nativity scene sits inside a five-pointed star, bringing the heart of the Christmas story to your tree in a quiet, simple way. Within the raised rim of the star, Mary kneels in a white veil and deep red mantle, cradling the infant Jesus, while Joseph stands beside her in a red robe, holding a small lantern. The figures stand out in relief against the soft grey of the star, and a fine gold line follows the edge. At the top point, a gold shooting star catches the light, and a sheer copper-toned ribbon is tied in a bow for hanging. It measures 12cm tall, 9.5cm across and 3cm deep, large enough to be noticed without crowding the branches around it.
It is a piece for Christmas, and it hangs just as happily away from the tree as on it. Tie the ribbon to a window catch, a door handle, a wreath or a garland along the mantelpiece, and the little scene becomes a gentle focal point for the season. At only 3cm deep, it sits close to whatever it hangs from. For many families the nativity is the part of Christmas that matters most, and this decoration gives it a place among everything else that goes up in December. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, easy to wrap and meaningful enough to be brought out year after year.
The star and its figures are ceramic, finished in soft grey with gold detail on the rim and the shooting star. Ceramic can chip if knocked, so choose a sturdy branch or hook where it hangs freely. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, and after the season wrap it in tissue paper so it is ready for next year. We like it hung at eye level near the front of the tree, where the figures can be seen up close.
