PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Rooster from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Rooster is a finely hand-carved nativity figure 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 figure brings character, movement, and symbolic meaning to traditional nativity displays.
The rooster stands proudly on a small tuft of green grass, featuring a warm tan body accented by darker brown feathers along the neck and back. Rich red combs and wattles add contrast, while flowing black tail feathers complete the expressive form. Each detail reflects the careful craftsmanship and artistic balance for which PEMA Kostner is known.
This figure is available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes, carefully scaled to match Joseph within each corresponding nativity set. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request. Please Contact Us if you would like assistance selecting the best option for your display.
