PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Horse from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Horse 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 horse adds realism, movement, and character to traditional nativity displays.
The horse is shown standing calmly in a natural pose, fitted with a carved bridle and an ornately detailed saddle. Subtle shading across the coat highlights the contours of the body, while carefully carved features bring lifelike expression and balance to the figure. These details make the horse a natural companion to shepherds, travelers, or stable scenes.
This horse 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 figurine and is not included in any PEMA Kostner nativity set. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request.
