The Kostner nativity undoubtedly offers the most extensive and diverse selection of nativity figures. Carved in a classic style, it embodies the esteemed sculptural tradition of Val Gardena. Playing with the multitude of figures is truly delightful. Each figure exudes remarkable expressiveness. By arranging them in endless combinations, one can create countless scenes, such as the Annunciation with the angel and Mary, the Nativity of Jesus, the adoration of the Three Wise Men, and the search for lodging with Joseph and Mary seated on a donkey. This nativity scene allows to create both small, intimate settings and big, majestic displays, as it is available in several sizes. The finishes range from natural or stained to colored.

Complete Classic Kostner Nativity Scene collection. Each piece is hand carved in Maple wood and hand painted in permanent oil colors by skilled artists. Heirloom quality.

Collections are available in 17, 20, 25, or 30 piece sets, in nativity scale sizes of 4", 5" and 6.5". (Nativity scale is set off of the height of Saint Joesph in the set- so if Joseph is 4" high, everything else is scaled to that height)

The Kostner Alpine stable with Lighting dimensions are as follows:

4" Scale: L22" x W11" x H10"

5" Scale: L28" x W13" x H13"

6.5" Scale: L35" x W15.7" x H16"

Because this is a European created item with an electrical plug, you will need to pick up a European to USA plug adaptor if you live in the USA.  You can easily find these at Home Depot or Lowes.  You can also order them off of Amazon: https://a.co/d/1c2CPC9
