This eleven-piece Nacimiento set by Angel and Ralph Bailon from Kewa Pueblo beautifully brings the nativity story to life through the lens of Pueblo pottery. Each figure is crafted in the traditional Kewa Pueblo polychrome style, with bold, earthy tones and intricate details that reflect the artisans' skill. The set includes the Holy Family alongside a cow, donkey, and sheep, adding a pastoral touch. Three figures present offerings—a wedding vase, a bowl, and a plate—while a shepherd kneels in devotion, enhancing the scene with symbols of reverence and unity. This set was purchased by the current owners in 2014.
