PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Holy Family with Manger from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Holy Family with Manger is a finely hand-carved nativity grouping 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 four-piece set forms the heart of a traditional nativity display.
Mary is shown kneeling beside the manger, dressed in a red gown with a blue cape accented by golden lining and a soft cream headscarf. Infant Jesus rests in a straw-lined wooden manger and can be removed for traditional seasonal display. Joseph stands to the right, wearing sandals and gray garments with a darker cape and golden lining, gently holding a lantern that adds warmth and reverence to the scene.
This listing is for the 8 inch and 10 inch Holy Family, offered as a standalone grouping and not part of a nativity set. All figures are scaled to Saint Joseph for balanced proportion. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request. Please Contact Us if you would like assistance selecting the best option for your display.
