Description
xHandcrafted Willow Tree 7-piece nativity set featuring three wise men, a shepherd, camel, goat and two sheep—designed for elegant, tabletop holiday displays.
This Willow Tree collection piece combines Susan Lordi’s hand-carved originals with carefully cast and hand-painted reproductions to create a simple, emotive nativity scene. Each figure is scaled to coordinate with the rest of the set, packaged in fitted boxes for gifting, and meant to be displayed on a mantel, table, or holiday vignette.
What pieces are included in this 7-piece set?
The set contains seven carefully matched pieces: three wise men shown kneeling, bowing and standing with small metal gifts, a kneeling shepherd holding a crook with a reclining goat, a reclining camel with a blanket and seat, and two dark sheep. Each piece is sculpted to match the same artistic language and scale.
- Three Wisemen: kneeling, bowing, standing—each carries a metal vial or box
- Shepherd: kneeling with crook, placed next to a lying goat
- Camel: reclining with blanket and seat detail
- Two dark sheep: matched in tone and size to the scene
How large are the figures and will they coordinate with other Willow Tree nativity pieces?
The tallest wise man stands approximately 8.5 inches tall, with the remaining figures scaled to harmonize visually. These proportions make the group suitable for mantels and tabletops, and they are intended to combine well with additional Willow Tree nativity items sold separately.
- Tallest piece (wiseman) measures 8.5"
- Other figures and animals are in corresponding scale for balanced displays
- Pairs well with complementary Willow Tree pieces like metal star backdrops and creches
What makes Willow Tree nativity figures unique?
Each Willow Tree piece begins as an original hand carving by artist Susan Lordi in Kansas City, then is cast and hand-painted to preserve the sculptural feel. The line’s hallmark is restrained form and gentle gesture, which emphasizes emotion and simplicity rather than ornate detail.
- Original carvings by Susan Lordi provide an artist’s touch
