A collection of Nativity figurines produced by Fontanini, Italy. Each piece is crafted from molded resin, designed with a textured surface to replicate hand-carved wood, and finished with hand-painted polychrome decoration in muted natural tones. The group includes the Holy Family, consisting of a kneeling Virgin Mary, a standing Saint Joseph with a staff, and the Infant Jesus in a straw-filled manger. The set also features the Three Magi holding offerings of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, an angel holding a banner inscribed GLORIA, a shepherd carrying a lamb over his shoulders, and four animals including an ox, a donkey, and two sheep. The figures represent a classic 20th-century Italian crèche design, likely from the 5-inch scale series.
Tallest figure height: 12.5 cm.
