Lamb - Lying (Nativity Piece) - HUM 2230/O HSC 69139093

The Nativity Scene - a Christian Christmas symbol.

A Peaceful Witness to the Humble Manger. For many, a lamb may seem like a simple decorative addition, but for the M.I. Hummel collection, the Lamb Lying (HUM 2230/O) is an essential part of the Christmas narrative. While the presence of animals is a tradition popularized by the Gospel of Luke, these humble creatures represent the very heart of the story: Christ's arrival among the lowly and the peaceful.

This resting white lamb brings a sense of serenity to your creche. It is easy to imagine the shepherds, arriving from the fields of Bethlehem, bringing their flock into the warmth of the stable to welcome the newborn King. Hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, this figurine features a delicate, matte porcelain finish and lifelike textures that reflect the purity and innocence of the season.

The story of the Nativity is one of harmony between heaven and earth. Ensure your stable is fully populated with these coordinated companions:

• Lamb Standing (HUM 2230/P) – The perfect counterpart to create a natural-looking flock.

• Young Calf / Donkey (HUM 2230/M) – Complete the traditional "ox and donkey" presence mentioned in early biblical traditions.

• Shepherd with Sheep (HUM 2230/D) – Bring the guardian of the flock to your Nativity scene.

• The Holy Family (HUM 2230 A/B/C) – The central figures these humble animals have come to adore.
