I was in the State Surplus Store the other day and found a most unusual nativity.
It has a label for Museum of the Bible. The original price was $51. The surplus store price was $15. All the pieces were wrapped up and inside the coconut. I didn’t know if all the pieces were even there. But I took a chance and bought it. When I went to pay I commented on hoping that it was a complete set. They charged me $10 and said the discount was in case something was missing. I lucked out, it was all there.
And by all, I mean some very confusing nativity figures. I’m not sure what the pointy hat people are, I read villagers on a blog somewhere.
Then there is this strange assortment of animals. They could be about anything.
But the most unusual is this grey headed thing. I have no clue what this represents. The set is from Haiti so I am guessing it could be some sort of witch doctor. But whatever it is, the set is very unique and an interesting addition to my nativity collection.

This is just so strange. I would assume it was a one of a kind. But to hear it was sold by a museum AND the original price was $51 - that just seems nutty. Definitely most unusual.
