This beautiful Alpine House Nativity Candle Pyramid is about 11½ inches tall, 9 inches across and 9 inches deep. A Wooden Candle Pyramid is a kind of Carousel with one or more levels. This is a single level pyramid with two tiers in the center depicting a Nativity Scene set in an Alpine House with an open window above to view two Heralding. There are four, three inch tall, red candles, one at each outer corner of the Pyramid. When lit the heat from the candles turns a set of wooden propeller blades set above the Alpine House which makes the Carousel go round. The propeller is held in place by a metal rod that goes down through the center of the Nativity Scene. When the propeller blades turn it turns the rod which also spins the Nativity Scene.
