PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved 15-Piece Nativity Set with Holy Night Stable from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner 15-Piece Nativity Set with Holy Night Stable is a complete and finely crafted Nativity scene made in Val Gardena, Italy, where Alpine woodcarving traditions have been preserved for generations. Each figure and structural element is hand-crafted from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, creating a harmonious and richly detailed display.
At the heart of the set is the Holy Night Stable, a rustic wooden structure with fencing, a hay loft, and a textured roof adorned with stones and dried moss. Within and around the stable are the Holy Family, a Gloria Angel positioned above, the Ox and Donkey, shepherd figures with sheep, a lamb, and the Three Kings bearing gifts. Together, these pieces tell the Nativity story with balance, movement, and reverence.
The figures are thoughtfully composed to guide the viewer’s eye through the scene, from the humble stable to the arriving Kings and surrounding pastoral life. This 15-piece set provides a complete foundation for a traditional Nativity display while allowing additional figures or animals to be added over time.
The set is available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes. Each size is carefully proportioned so that all figures are scaled to match Joseph, ensuring visual harmony throughout the display. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request. Please Contact Us if you would like assistance selecting the best option for your home or collection.
