Description
No Nativity is truly complete without the preferred mode of transportation of the Wisemen. The standing camel was a welcome addition to Harald Kastlunger's whimsical Nativity and shows off the true skill of the Master Carver. Introduced in 2005. 10200-13-031 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! Click on photo for Yonder Star's exclusive up close view. This 5.25 inch scale (13 cm) Nativity 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 passes from generation to generation. Visit the entire LEPI Kastlunger Nativity Collection.
