Each panel shows a different element of the nativity scene (Holy Family centerpiece plus two supporting scenes), carved to depth from solid olive wood. Tallest panel approximately 9.9 x 6.4 x 2.5 cm (3.9 x 2.5 x 1.0 inches), combined weight about 142 grams. Display all three together as one grouped scene, or place them separately around a room.
