PEMA Hand-Carved Nativity Sheep with Lamb Standing
The PEMA Nativity Sheep with Lamb Standing 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 piece captures a quiet and affectionate moment within the pastoral setting of the Nativity.
The adult sheep stands calmly while a small lamb nestles closely against her side, creating a touching depiction of care and protection. Flowing wool textures and subtle shading bring depth and realism to both figures, while their close interaction adds warmth and emotional presence to the scene.
This figurine is offered individually in a 3" size. While larger sizes of this composition exist within PEMA nativity sets, this listing is specifically for the 3" single figurine.
