Lenox First Blessing Nativity Donkey Figurine - 4.7 in H

This was a lovely addition to my nativity set from Lennox. I have limited space on the table I put this each year and the donkey with the colorful markings was a perfect fit. I have the wise men, Mary, Joseph and the Christ Child as well as the two angels but the donkey can't be left out for he had a special part in the transportation of the Holy Family. The colors match everything in the set and the donkey has a soft look about him that does not draw attention away from the other pieces but the burst of red color on his saddle and bridle add a perfect contrast to the other pieces. I received this piece right before Christmas and will cherish it for years to come.

I purchased this one before even the sheep and wasn't disappointed. I love that the donkey is carrying provisions from the trip to Bethlehem. I love the gold accents on him (and all the pieces) but also the burnt orange. The way he turns his head gives him personality.
