This exquisitely designed nativity set comes from the workshop of Björn Köhler and is crafted using detailed, traditional handwork.
This large version of the colored nativity figures comprises a complete set featuring the Holy Family (Joseph, Mary, and the Christ Child), a shepherd group with two sheep, the Three Kings, and the ox and donkey.
With their timeless, clean lines, balanced stained-color finish, and high-quality craftsmanship, these figures bring the miracle of the Nativity into the home—to be cherished for many years to come. Each figure is meticulously handcrafted.
Every group is a masterpiece in its own right: The Holy Family depicts Mary in warm reddish-brown with a black shawl, the Child in a simple dark manger, and Joseph in deep dark brown, wearing his characteristic hat and holding a shepherd’s staff. The shepherd group—featuring both kneeling and standing figures alongside sheep finished in natural wood and grey stain—radiates a quiet, reverent peace. The ox and donkey, rendered in deep black-brown and warm grey, wonderfully complement the ensemble with their compact, rounded forms. Finally, the Three Kings impress with their vibrantly colored robes—rich red, bright orange, and deep black—as well as their distinctive headwear and the precious gifts held in their hands.
In 1995, these nativity figures were honored with the “Tradition und Form” (Tradition and Form) design award from the Association of Ore Mountain Artisans and Toymakers—a distinction that underscores their exceptional design quality to this day.
