Trees (China)
These trees are part of a wonderful twenty-two piece hand-carved wooden nativity set carved by newly converted Christians. Each tree is delicately and realistically carved and can be absolutely identified by species: one is a form of oriental pine, one is a ginkgo tree and one is a flowering plum. Note the distinct carving of not only the leaves, flowers and branches, but the identifiable texture of the tree trunks themselves.
