Description
It doesn't get much cuter than this adorable little lamb created to accompany the flock of larger sheep. Harald Kastlunger has a genuine feel for the personality portrayed in each of his figures, and it shows.
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! Inset photo shows lamb with sheep for size comparison.
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 passes from generation to generation.
