Ancient Nativity in display case
Nativity in display case – France – 1800s – Glass, terracotta, real leaf, moss, cork, breadcrumbs.
Collectible: Nativity scene under glass created with various materials including cork, painted terracotta, a (real!) leaf in the background, moss and breadcrumbs... In short, a concentration of creativity and the art of making do with what you have available, a typical predisposition of the very patient nuns of a convent from which this antiquity certainly comes.
19th Century, France.
Breakages and losses, but overall excellent condition for this rare antique.
