PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Pair of Doves from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Pair of Doves is a finely hand-carved 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 charming figure adds symbolism, warmth, and seasonal detail to traditional nativity scenes.
The composition features two white doves, one standing and one seated, resting together on a small natural base. A holly branch with bright red berries and green leaves lies in front of them, adding a festive accent and visual contrast. The softly carved feathers and gentle postures create a peaceful and harmonious scene that complements both angelic and pastoral elements within the display.
This Pair of Doves 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.
