As early as 1850 pyramids were known to have been made in the Erzgebirge region of Germany. They started as a festive decoration in various woodworkers and miners houses and later were handmade by various studios for retail sale. The combination of different types of woods and the fact that they turn from the natural heat of the candles makes them fascinating. Size of this beautiful nativity themed pyramid is 12 inches high. Handmade in the Erzgebirge region of Germany by the Müller GmbH.
