Wall-Hanging Nativity Scene with Oval Frame and 12 cm Figures

This handcrafted wall-hanging Nativity scene with oval frame features 12 cm Nativity Figures. Inspired by the celebrated Neapolitan Nativity tradition, it combines theatrical composition, rich architectural detail and everyday village life in a beautifully balanced display. The scene is enclosed within an elegant oval frame finished in gold with Baroque-style decoration, surrounding a three-dimensional representation of the Nativity enriched with arches, stone walls and ancient ruins, all characteristic elements of eighteenth-century Neapolitan Nativity art. At the centre, the Holy Family is depicted with Mary and Joseph kneeling beside the Baby Jesus, who rests on a bed of straw. Around them unfolds a lively village scene featuring a shepherd in prayer, a hay seller, a child and other finely sculpted figures dressed in traditional clothing. Above the Nativity, an angel watches over the scene, while below, a small sheep can be seen inside a rocky grotto, symbolising the adoration of the shepherds. More than a simple Nativity scene, this handcrafted composition tells the story of everyday Neapolitan life, where the sacred and the ordinary come together in a harmonious work of art that celebrates tradition, spirituality and popular culture.
