Selling mussels

This is a part of the neapolitan tradition of presepial art - nativity scenes - Presepe Napoletano. Here you do not only find the ordinary scenes, but also sellers of food, animals and markets, even soccer stars.

This is one of the mussel salesman, was a gift from a friend. But I seen the same ones for sale in the old city of Naples in Italy. They have one street where you can buy these "figurini" of all kind.
Found one shop online - see it here:
