This nativity has a story. It was given to me in 1991 by my friend Roxy Schlonecker. It comes from the studio Loma Roja in La Costa, Quibor, Estado Lara, Venezuela. Somehow the nativity fell and the arms of the violin player and his bow broke off. The arms could be glued back in place but the bow shattered. Roxy went to colleague Dallas Engel, a gifted woodworker and he crafted a bow out of wood. I love this nativity both for it's artistic detail but also because it came from Roxy and was repaired so beautifully by Dallas.
