Description
Simply stunning. Add to your LEPI Venetian Nativity scene with this magnificent carved elephant and rider. Accented in 24 kt gold, the elephant and elephant driver are two separate pieces that may be displayed together or separately.
This 6.3 inch scale (16 cm) creche set is hand-carved from Alpine Maple, which is indigenous to the Groden Valley and is used for all LEPI woodcarvings. The wood is dried naturally for two years, then kiln dried for two weeks, reducing the wood to a moisture content of 8-12%. This enables the carvings to be in families for generations without any cracking or damage to the wood.
Please note: The Venetian elephant and driver is a special order item and takes about 4 weeks for delivery.
Purchases of any LEPI woodcarvings are viewed as family heirlooms and are passes from generation to generation. Each piece of this exquisite Nativity has been hand-carved and hand-painted in the LEPI workshops in Italy after the original models made by the master woodcarvers. This expressive Nativity is not only an heirloom, but a magnificent work of art!
