ANRI Nativity Bernardi Set
Shepherd Kneeling (#09) is a deeply expressive figure from the ANRI Bernardi Nativity collection, designed by master South Tyrolean sculptor Ulrich Bernardi. This piece captures a moment of quiet humility and offering, enriching the nativity scene with both movement and meaning.
The shepherd is depicted kneeling forward with one arm supporting him as he leans toward a small offering at his side, suggesting an act of devotion and reverence. His posture is more dynamic than a traditional prayer pose, conveying both humility and physical presence, as if he has just arrived and lowered himself in respect.
With curly hair, a full beard, and simple draped garments, the figure reflects the rugged yet sincere character typical of Bernardi’s village figures. The natural flow of the cloak and the detailed carving of the body create a strong sense of realism and craftsmanship.
Expertly hand-carved from fine Alpine maple and finished in warm, natural tones, this figurine showcases the exceptional skill of ANRI artisans in South Tyrol, Italy.
As part of the now-discontinued ANRI Bernardi Nativity series, Shepherd Kneeling (#09) is a rare and collectible piece, valued for its expressive design and its role in completing a meaningful nativity scene.
