Skip Winn Christmas Ornament 1990 SHEPHERDS ABIDING THE FIELDS

Some holiday ornaments feel a little more like small works of art than decorations—and this one definitely falls into that category.

This vintage fine pewter Christmas ornament was designed by Skip Winn and dates to 1990. The detailed scene shows a shepherd standing in the fields with sheep and a distant village, framed beneath a banner that reads:

"And There Were Shepherds Abiding in the Fields."

The piece captures a quiet moment from the Nativity story and has beautiful depth and texture in the metalwork.

The relief detail is wonderful—from the folds in the shepherd's clothing to the tiny sheep grazing in the field. Pewter ornaments like this have a nice weight and a classic look that works well on a Christmas tree, a wreath, or displayed year-round as part of a holiday collection.

This piece comes from the collection of my mom, who owned an antique shop in Spokane and spent decades gathering interesting and meaningful objects from estate sales and old collections.

Now it's ready to be part of someone else's holiday tradition.
