House of Fontanini | Item #59821

Add warmth, charm, and heartfelt storytelling to your Nativity display with Elisha the Shepherdess with Piglet, a delightful figure from the Fontanini® 5” Nativity Collection. Introduced in 2026, Elisha beautifully captures the gentle care and nurturing spirit of village life in Bethlehem. Cradling a small piglet in her arms while a curious lamb reaches up at her side, this touching scene reflects kindness, innocence, and the simple joys surrounding the Nativity story.

Expertly sculpted and hand-painted in Tuscany, Italy, Elisha showcases the timeless craftsmanship of Fontanini Italian Nativity. Every detail—from the soft expression on her face to the lifelike texture of the animals and the natural folds of her garments—is carefully rendered by skilled artisans using a multi-generational process that has defined Fontanini for over a century.

Collector Note: Introduced 2026, this charming shepherdess is a wonderful addition for both collectors and families. Perfectly scaled for 5” Nativity scenes, Elisha pairs beautifully with shepherds, shepherdesses, and lambs, helping you create a rich and inviting Bethlehem village filled with life and meaning.

The Fontanini tradition began in 1908 in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, when Emanuele Fontanini first opened his workshop. Today, that legacy continues through heirloom-quality figures made of durable, child-safe polymer—crafted to be treasured for generations.

At House of Fontanini, we are proud to carry on this tradition. For over 25 years, our Minnesota-based small business has helped families and collectors shop Fontanini and build meaningful Nativity displays. From our warehouse to your home, our mission remains:
“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”

Whether you’re adding a tender touch to your village or beginning a new tradition, Elisha is a beautiful reminder of compassion and care. Be sure to shop Fontanini and explore more treasured pieces in our Fontanini collection.
