PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Hen Sitting from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Hen Sitting is a beautifully hand-carved wooden figurine created 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 piece brings warmth and realism to a nativity display.
The hen is shown resting calmly on the ground, her rounded form and relaxed posture conveying a sense of stillness and comfort. Soft brown and cream tones are carefully shaded to highlight feather texture, while the vibrant red comb adds a subtle accent of color. This gentle pose provides a natural counterbalance to more active animal figures in the scene.
Available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes, the Hen Sitting is proportionally scaled to match Joseph within corresponding PEMA Kostner nativity displays. 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.
