Description

" He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young" - Isaiah 40:11

Exquisite Nativity scene flock of sheep. This Venetian Nativity subset features hand-carved, hand-painted figures from the renowned LEPI studios located in the Groden Valley in Italy. Each figure is unique from the others in this set, and includes 12 sheep (11 figurines). Set includes pair of lambs jumping, ram lying down, newborn lamb, sheep licking salt, sheep grazing, sheep with head lowered, lamb lying down, lamb looking to side, lamb, sheep, and sheep looking to side.

Each piece of this exquisite Christmas Nativity has been hand carved and hand painted in the Lepi workshops in Italy. The life and naturalness of each individual piece is portrayed, their identities evident in the small details of their faces and positions.  It 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.

Purchases of any Lepi woodcarvings are viewed as family heirlooms and are passed from generation to generation
