It reminds me more of a Pratchett cover than most nativity scenes...

Wait, is the Christ Child the standing up infant coming out of the mineshaft, or the lying-in-a-manger blob below that? If the latter, who's the kid in the mine? Or is this like the two skulls of John the Baptist (one from when he was a child, and one as an adult...)?

Also, why does that sheep have a human head growing out of its back? I'd say this looks more like one of those Bruegel paintings of Hell than a nativity.
