ANRI Nativity Bernardi Set

A Gentle Presence in the Bernardi Nativity Scene (for 4" Set)

Ox is a classic and essential figure from the ANRI Bernardi Nativity collection, designed by renowned South Tyrolean artist Ulrich Bernardi. This peaceful animal figure adds balance, warmth, and authenticity to the nativity setting.

The ox is depicted resting calmly with its body tucked beneath and head slightly raised, creating a serene and watchful presence within the stable scene. Its relaxed posture brings a sense of quiet stillness, complementing the sacred moment of the Nativity.

Carefully carved details such as the curved horns, attentive eyes, and softly defined musculature highlight Bernardi’s ability to bring lifelike realism even to animal figures. The smooth contours and natural stance enhance the gentle character of the piece.

Expertly hand-carved from fine Alpine maple and hand-painted in warm brown tones with subtle darker accents, this figurine reflects the craftsmanship of ANRI artisans in South Tyrol, Italy.

As part of the now-discontinued ANRI Bernardi Nativity series, Ox is a highly collectible and essential addition, completing the traditional nativity scene with quiet elegance and authenticity.
