The Nativity
Sculptor: Unknown
The Nativity, oak carved in relief. The naked Christ Child lies on the ground; on the left at his feet kneels the Virgin; on the right genuflects St Joseph, who holds in his right hand a lantern. Above his head are the heads of the ass and the ox. Behind the figures is a cloth to shelter them, held outspread by four angels.
