ANRI Nativity - Bernardi - Shepherd with Bagpipes

ANRI Nativity Bernardi Set

Echoes of Tradition in a Musical Nativity Figure (for 8" Set)

Shepherd with Bagpipes is a character-rich figure from the ANRI Bernardi Nativity collection, designed by celebrated South Tyrolean artist Ulrich Bernardi. This expressive piece brings sound and storytelling into the nativity scene, capturing a joyful moment of music and tradition.

The shepherd is depicted playing a set of bagpipes, his posture slightly bent forward as he focuses on his tune. The detailed carving of the instrument and the positioning of his hands create a lifelike sense of motion and sound, adding a dynamic and festive element to the display.

Dressed in rustic garments with a soft hat and barefoot stance, the figure reflects the humble lifestyle of shepherds while emphasizing Bernardi’s signature naturalism. The flowing textures of the clothing and the carefully sculpted facial features highlight the warmth and individuality of the piece.

Expertly hand-carved from fine Alpine maple and hand-painted in earthy, natural tones, this figurine showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of ANRI artisans in South Tyrol, Italy.

As part of the ANRI Bernardi Nativity series, and increasingly difficult to find since ANRI ceased production, Shepherd with Bagpipes is a distinctive and collectible addition that brings musical charm and narrative depth to any nativity arrangement.
