NOVICA - Sculpture - Wood - Christianity Religious Collection - Cedar and mahogany nativity scene, 'Newborn Jesus' (set of 15)

John Barrow carves a nativity scene taking place in a stable beneath a palm tree. He gives a vivid presence to each character in this scene, especially to Mary as she cradles Jesus in her arms. The Three Wise Men and a devout shepherd accompany them, as well as sheep, a camel and an ox. Though the sculptures are faceless, their postures are reverent.
