The Alpine Nativity Scene is a Tyrolean crib set with figurines made from sycamore wood. The clothing and objects of the figures in these scenes typify the rural work and daily life in the Alps. These rustic cribs include animals such as sheep and goats. Structural elements may be balconied farmhouses, mill wheels or traditional stone ovens, and a landscape of snow-covered mountains and forests can often be seen in the background.
