ANRI Nativity Bernardi Set
Shepherd with Birdcage is a distinctive and meaningful figure from the ANRI Bernardi Nativity collection, designed by renowned South Tyrolean sculptor Ulrich Bernardi. This unique piece reflects the everyday life and symbolic storytelling that enrich the world surrounding the Nativity scene.
The young man is depicted in motion, walking forward with purpose while carrying a birdcage in one hand and a scroll in the other. His posture suggests a journey, adding a sense of movement and narrative to the display. The birdcage introduces a subtle symbolic element, often associated with themes of care, responsibility, or quiet reflection.
Dressed in a simple green robe, with bare feet and softly detailed features, the figure embodies the naturalism and gentle humanity that define Bernardi’s artistic style. His curly hair and calm expression further enhance the lifelike quality of the carving.
Expertly hand-carved from fine Alpine maple and hand-painted in warm, natural tones, this piece showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of ANRI artisans in South Tyrol, Italy.
As part of the ANRI Bernardi Nativity series, and now increasingly rare since ANRI ceased production, Shepherd with Birdcage is a unique and collectible addition that adds depth and storytelling to any nativity arrangement.
