An Italian Christmas Folktale for generations to enjoy! | |||||||||||
| Each
year on the Feast of the Epiphany, the Christmas Befana visits all children
in Italy, leaving gifts of sweet breads, cakes and cookies. Legend says
she is looking for the Christ Child. The legend of Befana, illustrated by a Rhode island artist, is recreated in a series of collectibles: BEFANA COLLECTIBLE DOLL: Each doll is individually hand crafted and fully dressed in peasant clothes. Her sack is filled with fragrant baked goods, and she carries her walking stick. She is approximately 9 inches tall. Because each piece is individually handcrafted, there may be slight variations with each doll. TREE ORNAMENT: A finely etched representation of the Befana illustration is created in 14K electro gold-plate medallion to hang from the holiday tree. An abbreviated version of the Befana Legend accompanies the ornament. FRAMEABLE
PRINT: A limited
edition, numbered and signed by the artist, this frameable broadside print
carries the full legend of The Christmas Befana. The print measures 8
inches by 16 inches. All type is set in hot lead for authenticity,
and is hand printed on a Vandercook SP-15 proofing press, for museum quality
reproduction. . Click HERE for prices. |
