This teeny tiny Christmas scene, called Three Little Kings, has been hand-crafted in the eye of a needle.
Well known micro-sculptor Willard Wigan worked 16 hours over four weeks to create the artwork, showing the three wise men wearing gold crowns and riding camels.
Mr Wigan, from Birmingham, used his own eyelash as a paintbrush, applied microscopic glitter as the starry background and said the camels are smaller than a full stop.
He told PA news agency, "What I want to do is bring a little bit of hope and happiness and shed a little light on the world with something so small.
"The little things in life can make us all happy sometimes."
This isn't the only mini masterpiece, check out our list of some of the greatest, but tiniest, creations.

This teeny tiny handbag is only 657 by 222 by 700 micrometres- around the size of a speck of dust.
However, that didn't stop the item being snapped up for a staggering $63,750 (£50,569).
The mini bag, by MSCHF, has the famous Louis Vuitton's monogram on it, although it doesn't actually have any connection the designer brand.
A microscope with a digital display was sold along with the bag, giving its new owner the chance to fully enjoy all of its intricate details.

The bright green bag is made from photopolymer resin and was created using a form of 3D printing.
It was sold in an auction run by Joopiter, an auction house owned by musician Pharrell Williams.

Footie fans can you spot England's Harry Kane on this banknote?
Artist Graham Short, who also created the nativity scene above, carved the England captain's face on six special five pound notes.
That's one for every goal he scored at the 2018 World Cup, in Russia.
One went to Harry himself, one went to the FA and the others were circulated around the UK.

Bubble trouble
Artist Pawel Zaluska captured amazing photos of soap bubbles as you've never seen them before - and they look like beautiful works of art!
He froze the bubbles to show his three year-old daughter how cold it was, to try to convince her to wear her coat outside the house.
The bubbles were frozen at -15 degrees.
The images show ice crystals forming on the bubble's surface, making it look like a snow globe.
