Bring grace, warmth, and authenticity to your Nativity display with Sapphira the Shepherdess, a beautifully detailed figure from the Fontanini® 5” Nativity Collection. Introduced in 2026, Sapphira stands poised with her staff and woven basket, representing the quiet devotion and everyday life of those who first received the joyful news in Bethlehem.

Expertly crafted in Tuscany, Italy, Sapphira reflects the timeless beauty of Fontanini Italian Nativity artistry. From the natural flow of her garments to her calm, watchful expression, every detail is carefully sculpted and hand-painted by skilled artisans. Her gentle stance and lifelike presence bring movement and realism to your village, helping tell the story of the Nativity in a meaningful and heartfelt way.

Perfectly scaled for 5” Fontanini scenes, Sapphira pairs beautifully with shepherds, shepherdesses, and lambs—creating a rich and vibrant Bethlehem setting. Whether you are just beginning your collection or adding to a treasured display, she is a timeless piece that enhances both the beauty and story of your Nativity.

The Fontanini tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. Today, that legacy continues through a multi-generational process of sculpting, molding, and hand-painting heirloom-quality figures made from durable, child-safe polymer.

At House of Fontanini, we are proud to carry on that 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 expanding your village or starting a new tradition, Sapphira is a beautiful reminder of faith, simplicity, and devotion. Be sure to shop Fontanini and explore more timeless pieces in our Fontanini collection and outlet.
