G Ruggeri Nativity Italy Hand Painted 10 Piece Set 8" Figures 1970s Very Rare

This rare vintage nativity set is by sculptor Gino Ruggeri (1957) from Italy. It is a beautiful and meaningful addition to the Christmas season. He is one of the most well known sculptors in Italy and worked many years for Tito Bianchi in Bianchi's Factory in Tuscany. This set includes10 hand-painted plaster figures (standing ones 8" tall). This set is perfect for collectors or anyone looking to add a unique and beautiful touch to their holiday decor. The multicolor figures are very intricately designed with humbled, awed facial expressions and beautifully hand painted. I could not find any other set like this available. It was created in the 1970s and is from a beautiful estate. The most unique part of this set is one of the three wise men kings has very humbly taken off his crown for baby Jesus without any hesitation or self consciousness of his showing own rather large bald head with just a few little strands of hair. This set is signed on several pieces. Celebrate the meaning of the holiday season with this one of a kind nativity set. Please zoom all photos for your review. This set is in remarkably good condition considering its age and plaster material. It may have light signs of wear. ***Also please note Joseph and one Wiseman has had neck repairs please see photos.*** I also have a stable which is large and heavy plaster. It fits great with set but is not original to the set. It is not safe to ship. It is included for local pickup or local delivery only. If
