PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Ram With Bucket from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Nativity Ram With Bucket is a finely hand-carved wooden figurine crafted in Val Gardena, Italy, a region renowned for its traditional Alpine woodcarving heritage. Carved from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, this piece brings warmth and everyday pastoral life to a nativity scene.
The ram is depicted standing with gracefully curled horns, its head turned to the left as it feeds from a wooden bucket placed before it. The flowing texture of the white wool is softly sculpted, while subtle shading adds depth and realism. The inclusion of the bucket introduces a quiet moment of daily routine, enriching the overall narrative of the display.
Available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes, this figurine is proportionally scaled to match Joseph within corresponding PEMA Kostner nativity sets. It is offered as an optional add-on figure and is not included in any nativity set. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request. Please Contact Us for assistance.
