Very colorful nativity. The small figures fit on a plate. I can also see displaying it alone with a stable or forest background.

This nativity set is absolutely gorgeous! I purchased it as a gift for my Bolivian "family". I cannot wait to take it to them and see their reaction! I am so excited to have a gift that all of them can enjoy. I appreciate that a nativity set is an important part of the Bolivian Christmas traditions which makes this gift even more special. I know that the kids in the Casa that my church supports will cherish it. Jose did a beautiful job. I love how this set is a work of art appealing especially to the young adults yet the little ones can safely handle it without fear of it breaking. I may have to order another nativity set created by Jose for myself ï?Š

The nativity was very well made and detailed. The expressions on all of the faces of the Holy Family and the cute jungle animals are perfect. You can tell very quickly that the baby is a boy. I thought of putting a little blanket over him to keep him warm when I display the Nativity. I am pleased with the Nativity and am happy that I purchased it.
