Christmas bread (or 'poprtnik') made out of salt dough. It depicts the birth of Jesus with the seated Mary, the standing Joseph and the child in the cradle. Around the central scene, there are few animals: a donkey, a cow, a sheep and birds. The whole scene stands on a loaf of bread. The backrest was subsequently placed under a glass bell and on a wooden stand.
