Nativity Sculptures Self-researched

A group of 13th-century marble sculptures depicting the Nativity scene, originally part of a larger sculptural ensemble for the Oratory of the Nativity (Presepe). The figures include the Virgin Mary, Joseph, the ox, the ass, and the Magi. They are among the earliest known freestanding Nativity sculptural groups and are now displayed in the underground museum chapel of the basilica.
