The figures feature rich natural grain, warm patina, and subtle hand-carved details that give each piece its own character.

The set includes carved figures and animals arranged around a central manger, all in a cohesive style, making it an excellent display for the holiday season or a meaningful piece of religious décor year-round. The craftsmanship and material quality suggest a mid-20th-century production, likely dating from the 1960s–1980s.

Olive wood Nativities from Israel are especially sought after for their symbolism, durability, and timeless aesthetic. This set works beautifully styled on a mantel, bookshelf, or tabletop and also makes a thoughtful heirloom-quality gift.
