Seiffener Volkskunst Schalling Nativity Scene – Camel

This beautifully sculpted Camel adds a storytelling flourish to your Schalling Nativity Scene. Standing 12 cm tall, the figure is carefully crafted from natural wood and detailed with a real string lead through its mouth—ready to accompany the journey of the Wise Men. The camel’s back is loaded with carved wooden bundles and luggage, suggesting a long and purposeful trek through desert lands. Its warm wood tones and graceful form make it a striking addition to your display.

The Nativity Scene is a meaningful way to bring the Christmas story to life, and each figure adds depth and nuance to that retelling. This standalone camel complements the Wise Men set but can also stand alone as a symbol of travel, offering, and reverence. Whether you’re adding to an existing collection or starting fresh, remember that each subset is sold separately and availability may change from year to year. Explore the full collection here ›
