Six Piece Nacimiento set by Autumn Borts Medlock

This six-piece Nacimiento set by Autumn Borts Medlock from Santa Clara Pueblo offers a modernist, minimalist interpretation of the nativity.

The figurines rest on a bed of straw, adding an organic touch that complements the refined lines of the design. The set includes a lamb and donkey, whose gentle, understated details capture their humble presence in the scene.

This set is signed Autumn Borts Santa Clara Pueblo and dated 10-92. This set was purchased not long after creation by the current owners in 1992.
