Even as tiny as it is, Mel there is no doubt "what" it is. What a pleasing little nativity! Great design, and I like the wood grain showing so you can actually realize it is handcarved wood.
Thanks for showing it to us.

Cute Nativity scene Mel. I have one close to that, but not that small.
I like the stylized figures.
