5.5" Holy Family for G.DeBrekht Derevo Folk Nativity Series

This beautiful Holy Family from the Derevo Folk Nativity Collection measures 5.5 inches tall. The Holy Family features three individual pieces, all with intricately detailed painting front and back. Joseph and Mary each feature a miniature scene of the Nativity painted on the front of their gowns. Joseph carries a staff that is removable.

From the Derevo Collection comes this beautiful Folk Art Nativity Collection. Designed by the G.DeBrekht's fine Russian artists, the collection starts with a hand-carving from Russia. From each hand-carved piece a mold is created. The pieces are then cast in resin and hand-painted by highly skilled international artisans trained in the Russian/ G.DeBrekht styles. The painting is usually added in three to nine layers, one on the top another. Using rich color pigments and palettes that duplicate the ones used in Russian art villages, these gifted artists create the magnificent scenes and decorations. Even with small limits of 600 to 1,500, it still takes two to three years to complete each edition of these works of art. Because of their low limitation, these pieces retire from production quickly.
