Weird Religious Sculpture: Triple-Decker Nativity Scene by Jaimy

Troy Davis writes:

This sculpture of a triple-decker Nativity scene is really off. I mean, who puts the livestock stable on the top floor of a three-story structure? Mary and Joseph were turned away at the inn and the innkeeper tells them, "I have not vacancies but you can go up to the penthouse and hang out with the animals!" Who does that?

The maker's mark indicates it was "designed and sculpted by Jaimy." I can't beleive someone would donate such a tasteful artwork to Goodwill (where I bought it for two bucks).

Check out some of the other objets d'art in the museum's collection: 1. Spire Christian Comics spinner rack; 2. Our Lady of Guadalupe sculpture; 3. 

"La Nueva Jerusalen" print.
