The weight feels right. The grain on the wood is real. And the bark roof, that's not decorative, that's just what a shelter looked like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand carved nativity set from Bethlehem sits at 4.1 x 5.5 x 3.5 inches, so it fits on a windowsill or a mantel without taking over the whole space. It's a nativity scene tabletop piece that actually looks like it belongs where you put it, not like something you have to work around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking at nativities for sale online, most of what you find is mass-produced resin painted to look like wood. This isn't that. This is olive wood, shaped by hand, in the city where the story actually happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#faf6f1;border-left:4px solid #c8a96e;padding:18px 20px;margin:20px 0;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#5a4a3a\"\u003eFrom Our Family to Yours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#6b5d4f;font-size:15px\"\u003eHi, I'm Elias.
