Gabriel, Shepherd with Sheep & Lamb – 27" Scale

House of Fontanini – Item #53151

Gabriel the Shepherd beautifully captures the humble devotion of the first witnesses to Christ’s birth. Depicted with a lamb gently resting across his shoulders and another walking faithfully at his side, Gabriel represents the awe and wonder of the shepherds who hurried to the manger after hearing the angel’s proclamation.

Expertly sculpted with layered garments, textured fabrics, and lifelike animal detailing, this figure reflects remarkable movement and realism. His rugged attire—rendered in deep greens, warm browns, and muted reds—features hand-shaded finishes that add depth and authenticity. The careful artistry gives Gabriel a grounded pastoral presence, making him a powerful and protective figure within any Nativity display.

Standing an impressive 27.5" tall in the 27" scale, Gabriel is part of the distinguished Fontanini 27" Institutional Collection—ideal for churches, schools, large sanctuaries, or grand home displays. His commanding size and exquisite craftsmanship create a reverent focal point within the Nativity scene.

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 humble family endeavor has grown into a world-renowned legacy of heirloom-quality Nativity figures. Each piece is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled Italian artisans in a multi-generational, family-guided process.

Today, at HouseofFontanini.com, we proudly carry on that tradition—bringing these treasured Italian Nativity figures directly to collectors and institutions. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota business has shared a passion for Fontanini with customers across the country.
