A fève is a small trinket hidden in a king cake or similar dessert. The French word fève translates to 'fava bean', which is what was originally hidden in the cake. Cakes with fèves are found throughout Europe and the US and are particularly associated with Three Kings Day or Mardi Gras. The person who finds the fève usually is awarded special privileges or gifts for the day. Fèves have also become collectors items, and in France, their collectors are known as fabophiles or favophiles.

The theme of this little set is a navity of sort. When pulling together this little collection in France, they were on a huge tray of feves - I tried my best to find ones that suited each other! 

Dimensions: 3.5cm height.
