Ceramic campfire surrounded by rocks.

This ceramic nativity figurine depicts the birth of Jesus in a manger surrounded by a stone-like border. It appears to be a decorative piece created for Christmas displays, likely produced in the late 20th century as part of mass-produced holiday decor. Nativity scenes have been popular Christmas decorations since the 13th century when St. Francis of Assisi created the first living nativity. Ceramic versions like this are particularly valued by Christmas collectors and those with religious affiliations for their ability to serve as both holiday decor and expressions of faith. This piece would appeal to collectors of Christmas memorabilia and those who display nativity scenes as part of their holiday traditions.
