A Sad Farewell to ANRI – Last Remaining Pieces Available
With ANRI’s workshop now closed, we’re honored to offer the final, limited selection of these beloved hand-carved treasures.
Figurine Size Note:
The size listed for this nativity set (e.g.,4", 5", 6.5") refers to the height of the Joseph figure. All other figures in the set are proportionally scaled to Joseph's height. This is standard across all traditional nativity sets.
Highly collectible ANRI carving, increasingly rare since ANRI ceased production.
ANRI Nativity Bernardi Set
Shepherd with Basket is a dynamic and lifelike figure from the ANRI Bernardi Nativity collection, designed by renowned South Tyrolean sculptor Ulrich Bernardi. This expressive piece captures a moment of motion and purpose, bringing energy and realism to the nativity scene.
The shepherd is shown striding forward with a basket carried on his back, his body leaning slightly into the movement as if traveling across the hills. His posture conveys effort and determination, adding a sense of journey and storytelling to the display.
Dressed in simple, rustic garments with softly flowing textures, and depicted barefoot, the figure reflects the humble life of shepherds in the Nativity story. The natural folds of the clothing and the detailed carving of the figure’s stance highlight Bernardi’s signature ability to create movement and realism in wood.
Expertly hand-carved from fine Alpine maple and hand-painted in warm, earthy tones, this sculpture showcases the craftsmanship and artistic tradition of ANRI artisans in South Tyrol, Italy.
As part of the ANRI Bernardi Nativity series, and now increasingly rare since the closure of the ANRI workshop, Shepherd with Basket is a collectible and character-rich addition to any nativity display.
