PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Fox from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Fox is a finely hand-carved nativity animal 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 figure adds character, movement, and a touch of wildlife realism to traditional nativity scenes.
The fox is depicted standing with its head gently raised and turned slightly to the left, giving the figure an alert and attentive posture. Its warm red-brown coloring is layered with subtle shading, and the bushy tail is carefully carved to enhance texture and depth. The natural stance makes this figure a distinctive accent within pastoral or woodland-inspired sections of the display.
This Fox figure is available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes and is carefully scaled to match Joseph within each corresponding nativity set. It is offered as an optional add-on figure and is not included in any PEMA Kostner nativity set. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request.
