Creche in the East Room of the White House is part of a collection. This ornament features Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus portrayed on a 9 cm gold ball.

Gold and red angels appear on separate ornaments.

Hand Painted in Poland.

Each year since the first Kenndy Christmas, an 18th century Neapolitan creche has been on display in the White House. In 1961 Loretta Hines Howard, a noted collector of religious figures installed the creche in a niche in the East Room against a backdrop of gold curtains. The individual figures- men, women, angels, animals, kings and chrubs depicted the Nativitiy scene arranged in a pyamid shape symbolic of the evergreen tree. In 1967 a permanent gift of the Nativity was given to Mrs. Lyndon Johnson and is part of the White House collection.
