OUR COLLECTION — ASIA — CHINA  70. CAMPHOR NATIVITY WITH TREES

Picture
This Nativity scene was designed by a Chinese Christian man, requiring one week of hard work to complete. The figures and stable are carved from camphor wood. The two-story stable measures 9 inches by 9 inches. The angels measure 3.5 inches tall.
​
The stable and figures include: 
  • The Holy Family that are all one piece of wood (a great unity feature!)
  • Two angels
  • One ladder in the stable to go upstairs
  • Two highly carved trees
  • One standing camel and two sitting camels
  • Four sheep
  • One water buffalo, which is a protective symbol in Chinese culture
  • One donkey
  • Three shepherds (two are bowing)
  • Three wise men (two are kneeling) 

This item comes from the only Christian woodcarving workshop in China, located in China's Zhejiang province, an area famous for all types of wood carving.
