Marble sculpture (2) Nativity scene

Another detail from the solid marble sculpture on the north side of Vauxhall Bridge in London facing MI6. The sculpture - a solid block of marble with no representative shape - is lovely in itself but the stories hidden in the fine detail of the marble bowl me over.

I was originally going to call this Gateway to Hades but that was a distraction. It is clearly a Nativity scene with the participants kneeling on the right.

A companion piece, a marble seascape, is at
