11-Piece Nativity Set with Shepherd Carrying Lamb – Blue & White Hand-Painted Resin, 6"

A nativity in classic blue and white.

This eleven-piece nativity set brings the Christmas story to life in a palette of timeless devotion. At just six inches tall, it is designed for those who seek beauty in small spaces — a narrow mantel, a bedside table, a quiet office shelf, or the center of a holiday tiered tray.

Mary kneels in prayer, her ivory gown quilted with delicate texture, her royal blue mantle draped softly over her shoulders and edged in hand-painted gold. Beside her, Joseph stands with his staff, his expression tender and watchful, his robes matching hers in dignified blue and white. Between them, Baby Jesus rests in a woven straw manger lined with golden hay — a separate piece you may place in the cradle when the season calls for it.

The Three Kings arrive in staggered procession: one stands bearing an ornate golden chest, another offers a gleaming goblet, and the third kneels in humble adoration with a golden vessel. Each crown and cape is touched with gold, their faces painted with individual character and reverence.

The shepherd boy approaches with a lamb perched on his shoulders — a playful yet reverent detail that sets this compact nativity apart. He is dressed in a simple white tunic with a blue and gold cape, his bare feet grounded on the earth as he gazes toward the Holy Family.

Overseeing the scene, the praying angel folds her hands in reverence atop a soft cloud base, her golden wings swept back and catching the light with a quiet radiance. At her feet, the animals rest in peaceful stillness: a gentle ox, a quiet donkey, and a small white sheep.

Every robe is embossed with quilted or floral texture and edged with gold. The deep blue reads as both regal and serene, the ivory as pure and warm. It is a nativity that honors tradition while fitting gracefully into modern, smaller-scale living.

No assembly is required. Each figure arrives individually protected, ready to bring its quiet dignity to your home.

Eleven figures. One shepherd. A nativity in blue and gold.

Which figures come in this 11-piece blue and white nativity set?

The set includes the Holy Family (Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus in a removable woven manger), Three Wise Men, a shepherd boy carrying a lamb on his shoulders, a praying angel with golden wings on a cloud base, an ox, a donkey, and a sheep. Each of the eleven figures is freestanding and individually hand-painted in royal blue and ivory white with gold-leaf-style accents.

How tall is this nativity set, and will it fit on a small mantel or shelf?

The tallest figure (the praying angel) measures 6 inches in height. This compact scale is specifically designed for small spaces such as narrow mantels, bedside tables, bathroom shelves, office desks, and tiered trays. The entire scene can be arranged in a footprint of roughly 12 to 14 inches wide.

What makes this shepherd figure different from other nativity sets?

Rather than the traditional pose of cradling a lamb at his chest, this young shepherd carries the lamb perched on his shoulders. This distinctive pose adds narrative charm and a subtle vertical element to the scene, making it a memorable focal point that customers often mention in reviews.

Is this a praying angel or a Gloria banner angel?

This 6-inch set features a praying angel, not a Gloria banner angel. She stands on a soft cloud base with her hands folded in prayer, wearing an ivory gown with a royal blue sash and sweeping golden wings. If you are looking for the Gloria banner angel, she appears in our larger 12-inch blue and white nativity set and in our blush pink collection.

Can Baby Jesus be removed from the manger?

Yes. Baby Jesus is a separate figurine that rests in the woven straw manger lined with golden hay. You may place him in the cradle for the full nativity scene, or keep the manger empty during Advent and place him there on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.

Is the 6-inch size appropriate for a church or chapel display?

While the 6-inch scale is ideal for home use, it can also serve beautifully in church offices, chapel niches, children's ministry rooms, or reception-area displays. For main altar or grand foyer displays, consider our larger 12-inch or 15-inch blue and white nativity sets in the same color family.

How should I arrange the Three Kings and shepherd around the Holy Family?

Many customers place Mary and Joseph on either side of the manger as the central anchor, position the praying angel slightly behind or to one side to draw the eye upward, and arrange the Three Kings in a gentle arc approaching from the left to suggest their journey. The shepherd with the lamb on his shoulders often stands to the right, creating a balanced composition. Because every figure is freestanding, you can experiment until the arrangement feels natural to your space.

What is the best way to store these figurines after the holidays?

Dust each figure gently with a soft, dry cloth before packing. Wrap them individually in tissue paper or bubble wrap, paying extra attention to the angel's delicate wings, the Kings' crowns, the shepherd's lamb, and the woven edges of the manger. Store in a sturdy box away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the hand-painted finish for years to come.
