What You're Getting
The Abstract Lacquer-Free Nativity Set
This is a 9-piece olive wood nativity set hand-carved in Bethlehem in an abstract or modern style. The figures have smooth, simple shapes without detailed faces. They range from 3 to 5 inches in height. The set is left with a natural finish and no lacquer is applied. If you want to bring out the wood grain, you can wipe the figures with a small drop of olive oil and the natural veins of the olive wood will show clearly. The set is made in a small home factory in Bethlehem and supports fair trade.
Natural, Lacquer-Free Finish
Unlike most nativity sets that are finished with a lacquer coat, these figures are left completely natural. The raw wood look gives the set a more organic feel. Treating with a drop of olive oil brings out the natural lines and grain of the wood. For a set with a polished finish browse the Standard Size Abstract Nativity Figurines 12 Pieces.
Certificate, Lord's Prayer Card and Nativity Story Booklet
