This lovely traditional tree stands 15" tall from base to top of star and is permanently attached to it’s decorative base a perfect size for a Barbie Dream House, diorama or scene. Not too big, not too small. Translated into "real size scale" (life size) that would be comparable to a 7-1/2 foot tree in relation to a 6-foot tall person. Each of the 40 plus tips has a tiny bundle of fiber optic lights that blink in two colors, red and gold. The base, composed of 3 different old world buildings is reminiscent of Department 56 buildings and lights up as well. It runs on 2 “AA” batteries. There is an on-off switch on the bottom. The 40 permanently affixed ornaments on the tree are faithful reproductions of traditional Christmas shapes, bright, shiny and oh so festive. Tiny garland, over 20 feet of it, finishes off the minute detail, all hand decorated by me. It is fully decorated all the way around. The accessories I’ve made for this tree set include 6 gaily wrapped gifts, a plate of Christmas cookies and a bowl full of wrapped hard Christmas candy. Everything is to scale in the 1/6th world.
