Plaster Basket with Artichokes for 20 cm Nativity Figures

This miniature plaster basket with artichokes is designed in proportion to 20 cm Nativity figures. It has a rectangular shape with raised, slightly irregular sides. The textured surface features subtle roughness and handcrafted details that enhance its realistic appearance. The basket is finished in light brown and beige tones with darker shading, faithfully reproducing the look of a traditional woven basket. Inside, it is filled with artichokes featuring rounded shapes, layered leaves and slightly irregular surfaces with finely sculpted raised details that accurately recreate the structure of fresh artichokes. Arranged naturally to create a sense of abundance, they are hand-painted in rich green tones with darker shading and lighter highlights that reflect the natural colour variations of freshly harvested vegetables. Their glossy finish gives the impression of freshly picked or lightly moistened produce. The contrast between the warm brown and beige tones of the basket and the vibrant green of the artichokes creates an attractive visual effect. This finely detailed miniature is an ideal accessory for historical settings, traditional market scenes, agricultural displays, Nativity scenes and miniature collections, bringing colour and authenticity to any setting.
