Joseph stands with his staff, Mary kneels beside the manger, and a star sits at the peak of the stable frame above them, the whole scene cast in resin and hand-painted in a warm gold. A clear acrylic base holds it, so the piece reads light on a crowded surface. It measures 7 inches by 5 3/4 inches, small enough for a hall table with a candle, a mantel among greenery, or an office shelf where a full nativity would never fit. Mud Pie made it for people who want the Christmas story out where it can be seen, which makes it a considered gift for a new home or a couple's first married December.
