Traditional Alpina Holy family with Infant Jesus loose set. Includes Joseph, Mary, loose Jesus and the manger. 

Each piece is hand carved in Alpine Stone Pine and hand painted  by skilled artists. Heirloom quality. As the name suggests, this precious nativity set is carved from the finest Swiss stone pine wood. This type of wood is known for its various applications and, notably, its relaxing aroma. Moreover, this splendid material allows for an incredibly detailed craftsmanship of the wooden sculptures. Those who have the opportunity to admire the Alpine Nativity scene in Swiss stone pine will undoubtedly be captivated by the exceptional attention to detail, a characteristic feature of Val Gardena's revered sculptural tradition. While gazing upon this masterpiece, one can continuously discover new intricacies, and the astonishing lifelike portrayal of each figure leaves a lasting impression. The Swiss stone pine boasts a vibrant grain, which can be appreciated both in its natural elegance or with a discreet watercolor finish.

The size in inches is the scale of the nativity set based on what the height of an average man would be- with most nativity sets that is Joesph.  So if the nativity set is scaled to 4” for example, everything in that set is scaled to the height of a 4” man. 

There are many different figurines available in the Alpina Nativity Scene Theme Collection.
