This decoration is a little jesus child in a crib, the crib is formed by the half of a walnut. A baby jesus of wax, hand-painted, the walnut shell coloured in gold, the crib decorated with gold lace. It is a traditional decoration for christmas time in the alpine area. The nut is a symbol that a hard outer can have a soft and valuable inside. An inside, that we might not realize at first sight, as we are looking at the hard outside, the shell.

It is a wonderful symbol for hope, for the special wonder that can get out of a walnut and grow and grow and grow. Our customers like this nutshell with the waxen baby jesus as a decoration be it for the christmas tree, the easter adornment or all year long in their "Herrgottswinkel", the corner for spiritual decoration.
