Seiffener Volkskunst Schalling Nativity Scene – Angel and Shepherd, Set of 4

The Wise Men Set introduces three distinct and beautifully handcrafted kings to your Schalling Nativity Scene. Each figure, no taller than 12 cm, is full of character—adorned with finely curled wood shavings for hair and beards, and crowned with stylized Persian hats. One king kneels in reverence, while the other two stand tall, one bearing a sheathed sword at his waist. Each holds a finely turned wooden vessel—symbolic gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Their posture, detail, and variation bring a richness and narrative depth to your holiday display.

The Nativity Scene is a cherished part of Christmas decorating, offering a visual retelling of the story of Christ’s birth. These small-scale wooden figures fit beautifully on mantels, shelves, or side tables, inviting quiet reflection in any space. Each subset is sold individually so you can build your collection over time—but since designs may not be available every year, now is the perfect moment to explore the full set.

Handmade in the village of Seiffen, Germany by Seiffener Volkskunst, and based on the designs of Emil A. Schalling, these figures continue the legacy of Erzgebirge woodcraft—an art form rooted in centuries of tradition. With their minimalist lines, natural wood tones, and exquisite hand-finished details, these Wise Men are more than holiday décor—they’re timeless heirlooms to be treasured for years to come.
