PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Dove from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Dove is a finely hand-carved figure 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 delicate figure adds symbolism, balance, and quiet elegance to traditional nativity scenes.
The dove is depicted resting calmly, with softly carved wings and subtle feather detailing that highlight the natural grain of the wood. Its gentle posture and light coloring create a peaceful presence, making it a thoughtful accent near the stable, angel figures, or along the edges of the display.
This dove 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.
