PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Piglet Lying from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Piglet Lying is a charming hand-carved wooden figurine crafted in Val Gardena, Italy, a region celebrated for its centuries-old Alpine woodcarving tradition. Carved from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, this piece adds warmth and gentle character to a nativity scene.
The piglet is shown resting comfortably on the ground, its relaxed posture and softly sculpted form conveying a sense of calm and contentment. Subtle shading in natural pink tones enhances the realistic appearance, while the smooth carving highlights the artisan’s attention to detail. This quiet, humble figure brings an everyday farmyard element that enriches the overall storytelling of the Nativity.
Available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes, the Piglet Lying 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.
