PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Goat with Short Hair from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Goat with Short Hair 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 brings strength, realism, and natural character to traditional nativity scenes.
The goat is depicted with short, textured hair in layered light and dark brown tones that emphasize its mountain heritage. A full beard and alert posture add personality and presence, while the balanced stance allows the figure to integrate naturally with other animals in the display. Subtle carving details and carefully applied paintwork highlight the craftsmanship without overpowering the form.
This figure 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. Please Contact Us if you would like assistance selecting the best option for your display.
