The Child of the Nativity or "Niño Dios" is represented by a baby lying on a pillow, usually naked or diapered. His knees are raised in a seating position; he could be represented seated on Virgin Mary\'s arm or in a chair with a scepter. He is part of the nativity or could appear by himself. The devotion to the Child began with the Wise Men and continued through stories of saints to whom the Child appeared. Notice the big gorgeous brown glass eyes highlighted by eyelashes and painted eyebrows. Fine details on face, hands and feet make this piece unique. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping.
