This charming thirteen-piece miniature black Nacimiento set by Linda Askan is a beautiful complement to her red polychrome nativity. Here, Askan's artistry shines through polished black clay, capturing the warmth and spirit of pueblo life. The Holy Family is surrounded by figures that bring this small scene to life, including a burro and three small lambs, which lend a rustic, familiar touch. The three wise men stand out with individual details: two wear striking ram and bear headdresses and carry offering plates, while the third plays a drum, adding a rhythmic note to the nativity. This elegant black set showcases Askan's skillful depiction of tradition and community in miniature form.
