A Rare and Reverent Figure from the Bernardi Nativity Collection
Available in 8"
This beautifully detailed figure from the ANRI Bernardi Nativity Collection depicts a humble shepherd gently holding a lamb in his arms. Dressed in a green robe with a matching turban, the figure reflects the quiet devotion and pastoral life that surround the Nativity story.
The shepherd’s simple clothing, leather sandals, and shoulder bag emphasize the modest character traditionally portrayed in Nativity scenes. The tender way he carries the lamb symbolizes care and guidance, reinforcing the peaceful atmosphere of the Nativity setting.
Hand-carved and hand-painted in Italy, this figure reflects ANRI’s long tradition of fine woodcarving and artistic craftsmanship. With the ANRI workshops no longer producing these beloved figures, remaining pieces from the Bernardi Nativity collection have become increasingly difficult to find.
This shepherd figurine is a meaningful addition for collectors seeking to complete or expand their ANRI Bernardi Nativity display.
