PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Expansion Set 14 Pieces from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Expansion Set 14 Pieces is a finely hand-carved collection crafted in Val Gardena, Italy, where Alpine woodcarving traditions have been preserved for generations. Carved from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, this expansion set adds richness, movement, and everyday life to traditional nativity scenes.
This set is designed to complement the PEMA Kostner 15-piece nativity set. When combined, both sets form the complete traditional 29-piece nativity scene, offering flexibility for collectors who wish to build their display over time. Each figure is created in matching proportions, carving style, and finish to ensure visual harmony throughout the scene.
The 14-piece expansion set includes a thoughtful selection of shepherds, animals, and accessories that enhance storytelling and atmosphere, such as seated and standing shepherds, sheep in varied poses, a camel with driver, farm animals, a boy with dog, and the guiding comet. Together, these figures bring balance, realism, and narrative flow to the Nativity.
This set is available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes, carefully scaled to match Joseph within each corresponding nativity set. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request.
