PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Sheep Grazing Looking Right from Val Gardena

The PEMA Kostner Sheep Grazing Looking Right 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 calm movement and pastoral realism to traditional nativity scenes.

The sheep is shown peacefully grazing, with its head gently lowered and gaze directed to the right. Its thick, softly carved white wool coat is shaped with flowing texture and subtle shading to enhance depth and lifelike character. The relaxed posture contributes to a natural rhythm within the scene and complements both standing and resting animal figures.

This sheep is available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes and is included as part of the PEMA Kostner 15-piece nativity set. Each size is carefully scaled to match Joseph within the corresponding set, ensuring visual harmony throughout the display. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request.
