This image displays a multi-tiered, elaborate nativity scene, or "crèche," housed within a large storefront window in Saverne, France. The display simulates a mountainous landscape using crumpled brown paper or fabric, covered with green moss, several small artificial evergreen trees, and scattered white material resembling snow. Approximately fifty small, static figurines, consistent with "santon" figures, are positioned throughout the constructed landscape. Central to the upper-middle section are figures representing Mary, Joseph, and an infant, surrounded by other characters. The display includes figures identifiable as the Three Wise Men, carrying gifts. Numerous other figures depict villagers and shepherds in various traditional attire, engaged in implied activities: one figure plays a bagpipe, another holds a drum, while others carry baskets, hold staffs, or observe the scene. Animals such as sheep and a donkey are also present. Architectural elements include a small arched stone structure and a simple stable-like building. The glass of the storefront window reflects elements of the urban environment opposite, including building facades with windows and overhead structures, subtly obscuring parts of the display. Below the window, a horizontal red band marks the bottom edge of the display. This rests on a grey stone ledge. Beneath the ledge, the building's facade consists of large, rectangular reddish-brown stone blocks. The bottom-most foreground shows a grey paved sidewalk with a rectangular metal drainage grate embedded on the right side.
