~* ~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ PETITE VINTAGE NATIVITY SCENE ~ OLD GERMANY ~ NUNs ESTATE ~ From the estate of my beloved Aunt, Sister Statia, a humble humanitarian who selflessly devoted her life to God's service and missionary work, often in undesirable third world countries during times of unrest under the most Godforsaken conditions! Her precious sacrosanct articles are being offered with No Reserve and No Reservation only after careful consideration of religious reprisals and blasphemy concerns ...so having made peace with visions of a fire & brimstone fate, and flashbacks from insufferable Catholic school sermons on damnation designed to inspire impressionable adolescent minds with fear of a vengeful God ...I contentedly reasoned that t is no intent to desecrate the sanctity of these items; only the sincerest hope they would find their way to the hands of the faithful who will treasure their intrinsic value. The absence of a reserve price is in no way reflective of any item's monetary value or my perceived notion of its worth, but rather, a tribute to the extraordinary woman whose forthright lifestyle exemplified the true essence of fairness, kindness and generosity. I know she'd want nothing more than to have her cherished worldly possessions presented with a reasonable starting bid, affordable to anyone whose interest they might capture. ~* ~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ ~ *~ Petite Vintage Nativity/Manger Scene features dimensional old plastics stable, complete with detailed hand-painted figures of Blessed Mother, St Joseph, Infant Christ in Crib, Ox & Ass, and Angel holding Gloria banner poised on roof.
