Description
No Nativity is complete without hedgehogs! Well, ok, maybe not, but Harald Kastlunger designed them for this nativity anyway. These cute little critters will add a smile to all who view your amazing LEPI Kastlunger Nativity scene.
Each piece of this exquisite Nativity has been handcarved and handpainted in the LEPI workshops in Italy after the original models made by the master woodcarver Harald Kastlunger. This expressive Nativity is not only an heirloom, but a magnificent work of art!
This 5.25 inch scale (13 cm) Nativity crèche set is handcarved 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.
Purchases of any LEPI woodcarvings are viewed as family heirlooms and are passed from generation to generation.
