Seated Sheep - Fontanini® 18" or 20 Inch Masterpiece Collection

20" or 18" Scale Seated Sheep Figurine

House of Fontanini | Item #53441

Bring peaceful beauty and lifelike detail to your Nativity display with the 20" Scale Seated Sheep by Fontanini. This exquisite figure captures a moment of quiet devotion, with a gentle resting pose and finely sculpted wool that adds warmth and authenticity to larger-scale manger scenes.  Lamb can also be used with 18" scale.

Meticulously crafted in Italy from durable, marble-based resin and hand-painted by skilled artisans, this seated sheep reflects over a century of Italian craftsmanship. Designed to complement 20" scale shepherd figures and Holy Family displays, the piece rests on a molded base and features natural textures and soft brown tones that enhance realism.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began more than 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop in 1908. From humble beginnings, the Fontanini family grew into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each piece continues to be sculpted, molded, and hand-painted through a multi-generational, family-guided process.

At House of Fontanini, we are honored to carry on this beautiful tradition. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota small business has proudly offered retail and e-commerce sales direct to collectors who cherish the Nativity story as much as we do. As we say in our warehouse every day, our mission is:

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

Whether you’re expanding a cherished family collection or building a new heirloom display, this seated sheep is a meaningful addition. Shop Fontanini with confidence at House of Fontanini — and be sure to explore our Fontanini outlet for treasured finds and special additions to your Italian Nativity collection.
