Peter the Boy Shepherd - Item 52939 - Fontanini® 12" Collection

Peter the Boy Shepherd – 12" Scale

House of Fontanini | Item #52939

Bring youthful wonder and heartfelt storytelling to your Nativity display with Peter the Boy Shepherd from the celebrated 12" Collection. Introduced in 2025, this beautifully sculpted figure captures the innocence and quiet anticipation of the shepherds who first heard the Good News.

Resting thoughtfully against his shepherd’s staff, Peter appears mid-pause — his expression curious and attentive, as if listening for the angel’s message. His layered garments, finished in warm greens and earthy reds, are accented with subtle shading that enhances the depth and realism of each fold. The sculpting feels natural and lived-in, giving the piece movement and personality that elevate your display.

Handcrafted and hand-painted in Italy, Peter reflects the artistry that has defined the Fontanini legacy for over a century.

A Heritage of Italian Craftsmanship

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began in 1908 in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in the hills of Tuscany. Today, that family tradition continues with heirloom-quality figures made of durable polymer, meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans in a multi-generational process.

At House of Fontanini, we are honored to carry on that legacy. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota business has proudly served collectors across the country. From our warehouse to your home, our mission remains:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
