Daniel, Shepherd - Fontanini® 27" Collection

Daniel Playing Flute – 27" Scale

House of Fontanini | Item #53153

Daniel Playing Flute brings a gentle sense of music and storytelling to your Nativity display. Capturing a young shepherd absorbed in his melody as the holy night unfolds in Bethlehem, this beautifully sculpted figure reflects innocence, reverence, and youthful devotion. His softly modeled features and upward gaze suggest he is listening for the angel’s song while offering his own humble tune in praise.

Part of the distinguished 27" Institutional Collection, Daniel stands in quiet reflection, leaning naturally against a tree stump as he plays his wooden flute. Dressed in vibrant green pants and a draped shawl, his expressive countenance and lifelike posture bring movement and vitality to large-scale Nativity scenes.

Handcrafted and hand-painted in Italy, Daniel is made of durable, marble-based resin and finished with subtle shading and rich detail. Every fold of fabric and every gentle facial expression reflects the artistry and heritage of the Fontanini family tradition.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. What began as a small family business has grown into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each piece continues to be sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans in a multi-generational, family-guided process.

At House of Fontanini, we proudly carry on that tradition through direct retail and e-commerce sales to collectors across the country. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota business has shared a passion for these treasured pieces. Our mission remains simple and heartfelt:

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