This is the only metal remains of a larger composition. A lost group of 15 sons once belonged to it.

The scene shows Joseph (large head) and the virgin lying in bed, her head on a tasseled cushion. The ox and ass are behind the manger in which the Baby Jesus lies. The hooded shepherds enter with spade and crook.
