Willow Tree – Nativity Shelter For The Holy Family – 24cm

Willow Tree Nativity Shelter for The Holy Family Size: 24 cm Arched, rust-colored pierced-metal backdrop, patterned with branches and swirling circles of dots. Sized to complement The Holy Family nativity set. This pierced-metal backdrop was created to complement The Holy Family, though it can be used as a beautiful backdrop for other angels or figures as well. “The repetitive swirling concentric mark-making is suggestive of twinkling stars at night. The roof is an intertwined, organic structure that suggests a bower of twigs or branches. Since the surface patterning is complex with tiny elements, I wanted to pare down the form to the simplest possible. It’s basically a single sheet of pierced metal, curved to allow it to stand and represent a shelter for The Holy Family and animals.” – Susan Lordi Formed of thin, pierced metal and painted by hand. Dust with soft cloth or soft brush. Avoid water or cleaning solvents.
