Willow Tree Nativity Plus Three Wisemen is a 14-piece hand-painted resin and wood nativity set featuring Mary with baby Jesus, Joseph, animals, three wisemen with camel, and a metal star backdrop.

This Willow Tree set captures Susan Lordi’s carved-inspired figures in scaled, hand-painted resin with a wooden creche and metal star accents. The collection blends simple, contemplative silhouettes and natural finishes to create a timeless holiday display that fits mantels, shelves, or tabletop scenes. Packaged flat for easy assembly, the set balances spirit and quiet design in a compact footprint.

What exactly is included in the 14-piece Willow Tree Nativity Plus Three Wisemen set?

The set combines key nativity characters, a wooden creche, and decorative elements to form a complete scene. Each piece is sized to scale, with the tallest figure reaching 9 inches high, and all figures are cast from original carvings.

• Mary holding baby Jesus and protector Joseph
• Three Wisemen and a camel
• Donkey, two sheep, shepherd, and other stable animals
• Wooden creche (three-piece assembly) with metal star backdrop

How do the materials and construction affect appearance and durability?

The figures are cast in resin from Susan Lordi's original carved designs and then hand-painted for subtle texture and color variation. The creche is solid wood, hand-painted, and braced by a metal star backdrop for a layered, three-dimensional display. Together these materials are designed for stable seasonal display rather than outdoor use.

• Resin figures preserve carved detail and resist light wear
• Hand-painted finishes give each figure unique highlights
• Wood creche offers a sturdy base with easy assembly

How can I arrange this nativity set on a mantel or table for best visual impact?

Use the creche as the central anchor and position taller figures, like Joseph, behind or beside Mary to create depth. Place animals and smaller figures forward to draw the eye along the scene; add greenery or candles around the base for seasonal texture. Suggested Willow Tree accessories (sold separately) pair well with this set for extended displays.

• Center creche and place Joseph (9") at the back for scale
• Cluster animals and shepherd near the foreground
• Accent with garlands, small lights, or complementary Willow Tree pieces

Is assembly required and how are the pieces packaged?

The set ships packaged flat with a simple three-piece assembly for the wooden creche; figures and accessories are ready to place once unpacked. The flat packaging protects delicate hand-painted surfaces during transit and keeps the set compact for storage between seasons.

• Figures arrive fully assembled and hand-painted
• Creche requires minimal assembly (three parts)
• Packaged flat for safe shipping and convenient storage
