PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Shepherd Dog from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Shepherd Dog is a finely hand-carved wooden figurine crafted in Val Gardena, Italy, a region renowned for its centuries-old Alpine woodcarving tradition. Carved from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, this figure brings warmth, loyalty, and everyday life to a traditional nativity scene.
Depicted standing with a gentle forward stance, the dog’s golden-toned fur is softly sculpted with natural variation, while its relaxed posture and friendly expression convey a sense of watchful companionship. The subtle detailing of the coat and facial features gives the figure a lifelike presence without overpowering the scene.
Available in 4" and 6.5" sizes, the Shepherd Dog is proportionally 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.
