PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Cat Standing from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Cat Standing is a finely hand-carved wooden figurine crafted in Val Gardena, Italy, a region renowned for its centuries-old Alpine woodcarving tradition. Made from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, this charming figure adds warmth and everyday life to a traditional nativity scene.
The cat is shown standing alert with its front legs extended and neck arched upward, as if attentively observing its surroundings. Its soft gray coloring is subtly shaded to highlight the carved fur texture, while the raised tail adds a playful sense of movement. This expressive pose brings a natural, lived-in feel to the nativity setting.
Available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes, the cat is scaled to match Joseph within corresponding PEMA Kostner nativity sets. It is offered as an optional add-on figurine and is not included in any nativity set. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request. Please Contact Us for assistance.
