Customer Reviews
Adriana L.12/15/2025Beautiful piece. The only thing is that it's a tad small for the 12cm it represents due to the fact that it has a very small head so it might look a bit awkward when placed with another figure that is a little bit "plumper". However; this will blend in nicely with 12-14cm (4-5 inch) figures. It's hard to come across moors, and thus I "hunt for them regularly". This will not disappoint you; however you need to take placement into consideration because when used in the center of any installation the features and detail will completely be obliterated; whereas if it is placed at eye level it will look lovely. The dress is key for 2 reasons: 1.- the whiteness and light blue are perfect to stand out in a subdued nativity and 2.- The fact that the dress is made of real cloth adds the volume the features lack to make it cohesive with the size. I believe that given the fact that this is a clay and hand made piece, the value is excellent. Well packaged and arrived promptly.
