Description

Nativity scene with the Holy Family in a cave, surrounded by the common faithful led by the angel who gave them the announcement, placed in the upper part. The figures have hands and faces in terracotta painted in polychrome and are dressed in cloth clothes; the cave is made of papier-mâché, glued to the painted background, and is finished with straw and wood details. Placed within a mahogany cabinet supported by turned and ebonized feet, the uprights are made up of columns, also ebonized, with Corinthian capitals in gilded bronze, supporting the upper entablature, decorated with vase-shaped elements. The front and sides have glass, to allow them to be used as a display case. Access to the interior is done by removing the upper part.
