Plaster Basket with Lettuce for 25–30 cm Nativity Figures

This miniature plaster basket with lettuce is designed in proportion to 25–30 cm Nativity figures. It is a high-quality handcrafted piece, made from natural materials and carefully finished down to the finest detail by a skilled artisan for LCR Presepi di Messi Leandro. The basket has a low rectangular shape with a structure that faithfully reproduces the appearance of woven wicker. Its finely detailed texture features subtle raised elements that recreate the intricate weave, while the warm brown finish with darker shading gives it the realistic appearance of naturally aged wicker. The basket is completely filled with heads of lettuce, naturally arranged to create a realistic sense of abundance. Each head features an irregular, textured surface with sculpted folds that faithfully reproduce the layered leaves of fresh lettuce. The glossy finish enhances the impression of freshly harvested vegetables, while the vibrant green colour, enriched with subtle tonal variations, adds depth and realism. This finely crafted miniature basket evokes the atmosphere of traditional farmers' markets and countryside produce stalls. The combination of the rustic woven basket and the bright green lettuce creates a harmonious composition, making it an ideal accessory for Nativity displays, historical dioramas and traditional or agricultural miniature scenes.

Note: This is a handcrafted item. Minor variations in shape, colour and details may occur, making each piece unique and distinctive.
