About MeNativity scene with 15 plastic figures and a cardboard scenic backdrop, contained in a box with a label for the likely retailer: Debenhams & Freebody, Wigmore Street & Welbeck Street, London W1. The cardboard scene is in colour, depicting the stable and cartoon-like depictions of the ox and ass, two angels, a shepherd with a lamb and Bethlehem in the distance. It has a flap on either side, designed to be folded back in order that the stable stands up and the nativity figures can be arranged before it. The plastic figures include Jesus in a manger, Mary, Joseph, the Magi, an angel, two shepherds and the animals.
