My brother, Chuck Huggins, bought this for me in Germany. We went to visit a monastery and this was in the gift shop. They used to make them out of real walnut shells, but being "natural" they degraded over time. So the artisans make them out of plastic, instead. The detail is amazing, the quarter is to show scale. This sits on my night stand all year around.

The song is The Wexford Carol sung by Alison Krauss with Yo-Yo Ma, Natalie MacMaster, Shane Shanahan, & Cristiana Pato.
