PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Group of Geese from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Group of Geese is a finely hand-carved wooden figurine created in Val Gardena, Italy, where Alpine woodcarving traditions have been passed down for generations. Carved from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, this piece adds movement and family interaction to a nativity scene.
The composition features two adult geese walking side by side, their heads facing forward in quiet unity. Alongside them, a small gosling looks upward, creating a gentle sense of motion and companionship. Subtle color shading and carefully carved feather details give the figures a natural and lifelike appearance while maintaining the warmth of traditional nativity styling.
Available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes, the Group of Geese is proportionally scaled to match Joseph within corresponding PEMA Kostner nativity displays. This figurine is offered as an optional add-on and is not included in any nativity set. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request. Please Contact Us for assistance.
