This Herend Nativity Donkey Figurine is mainly for display. You can place it in your Nativity scene to make it more complete and charming. When handling it, be gentle as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. Avoid knocking it against hard objects. To keep it clean, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the hand - painted finish. Keep it in a stable place away from high humidity and extreme temperatures to prevent any damage to the porcelain. If you're giving it as a gift, just present the beautifully gift - boxed figurine.
