OUR COLLECTION — ASIA — SOUTH KOREA  111. WOOD NATIVITY

Picture
This Nativity is hand-carved from wood. The set was made by Kim Boo Ho Wood Carving in Seoul, Korea. The Nativity has twelve pieces: the Holy Family, two shepherds, a cow, a donkey, three wise men, a camel, and a stable with large star. The stable measures 10  inches wide by 12 inches high by 3 inches deep. The tallest figures are 8 inches tall.
 
The three wise men represent the three known continents in ancient times: Africa (Arabia), Asia, and Europe. The Chinese wise man wears a flat-topped headdress called mian in Chinese. The rectangular board had strings of gems attached to its front and back edges; the silk strings are called yù zǎo in Chinese—meaning pendants of jade beads.
