Trapani (Sicily), Early 18th Century
Nativity
Ivory, Coral, Tortoise, Lapis, Bronze

I thought, given the time of year, I would use this Nativity image to draw your attention to this exhibition of fine coral objects created in Trapani in Sicily which are shown alongside 17th and 18th century Italian bronzes and old master paintings.
