creative nativity scenes

This charmingly rustic nativity scene is the creation of Balinese artisan Nik. The manger and 5 figures are carved by hand from albesia wood with a distressed finish. A palm tree and a shooting star witness the arrival of the Baby Jesus.

Realized with beautifully flowing robes and an impressive attention to detail, Joseph and Mary share their love for baby Jesus, hand-carved into a single piece of bone. Balinese artisan Made Wardika creates this stunning nativity sculpture, which is displayed atop a base of suar wood.
