ANRI Nativity - Bernardi - Woman with Jug

ANRI Nativity Bernardi Set

Grace and Simplicity from the Village Life Series (for 8" Set)

Woman with Jug is a graceful figure from the ANRI Bernardi Nativity collection, beautifully reflecting the quiet dignity and daily rhythms of village life surrounding the Nativity story. Designed by renowned South Tyrolean sculptor Ulrich Bernardi, this piece showcases the naturalistic style and refined elegance that define the Bernardi nativity figures.

The woman is depicted in a calm, purposeful pose, gently balancing a ceramic water jug on her shoulder while supporting it with both hands. Her flowing robe drapes naturally around her figure, creating soft lines that emphasize movement and realism.

Dressed in a simple village garment with a light headscarf, she represents the humble people who formed the backdrop of everyday life during the time of Christ. Her serene expression and quiet posture convey a sense of grace, humility, and devotion.

Expertly hand-carved from fine Alpine maple and carefully hand-painted in warm, natural tones, this figure highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of ANRI’s South Tyrolean woodcarving tradition.

As part of the ANRI Bernardi Nativity series, and now increasingly scarce since the closure of the ANRI workshop, Woman with Jug remains a beautiful and collectible addition to any Bernardi nativity display.
