Large vintage three-tier wooden Christmas Nativity pyramid featuring hand-painted miniature figures, rotating scene platforms, decorative lattice railings, red-topped posts and six brass-tone candle holders around the base. The top tier features angels with instruments, the middle tier shows shepherds and sheep, and the lower rotating scene includes the Nativity figures and attendants. The wooden fan blades at the top are designed to turn from the rising heat of the candles, rotating the interior scenes.
