Description
A young girl holds her doll and her father stands protectively behind her in this two piece set for the LEPI Kastlunger nativity collection.
Pieces are also sold separately as Kastlunger nativity Father and Kastulnger nativity Girl with Doll.
This 5.25 inch scale (13 cm) nativity set is made in Italy from Alpine Maple, which is indigenous to Val Gardena / Gröden Valley in Northern Italy and is used for all LEPI nativity 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. Each piece of this exquisite Nativity has been hand-carved and hand-painted 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!
