Serenity Nativity

Handcrafted in Bangladesh, the Serenity Nativity is a traditional diorama of the Christmas story. Made of terracotta with intricate details carved in, then painted to resemble an antiqued finish. The cutout in the back of the stable leaves a perfect spot to place a battery operated candle for a warm glow.
