Zeke, the Young Swine-Herd Boy – Fontanini® 5" Collection
House of Fontanini — Item #54128
Bring a lively moment of village life to your Nativity display with Zeke, the Young Swine-Herd Boy, a charming figure from the beloved Fontanini® 5" Collection. Depicted mid-tug with a playful young pig, Zeke captures a delightful rural scene full of motion, personality, and storytelling. Dressed in a vibrant red tunic and blue trousers, the young swine-herd boy grips his rope firmly as he tries to coax the stubborn pig along, creating a whimsical moment that adds warmth and character to any Fontanini village.
Introduced in 2024, this beautifully detailed figure continues the timeless Italian tradition that collectors around the world cherish. Expertly sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans in Tuscany, Italy, Zeke reflects the exceptional craftsmanship that has made Fontanini Nativity figures heirloom treasures for generations. Crafted from durable, child-safe polymer, the figure is designed for both lasting beauty and family enjoyment.
Zeke makes a wonderful addition to pastoral or village scenes and pairs perfectly with Clement the Pig Farmer, Jebediah the Pig Herdsman, The Pig Family, and The Pig Pen, helping bring a lively farm setting to your Nativity display.
Each figure is gift boxed and includes the official Fontanini story card, making it an ideal collectible or meaningful gift for Nativity collectors.
The Fontanini Nativity tradition, carried on today through HouseofFontanini.com, began more than a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. What started as a small family craft has grown into a world-renowned tradition of creating heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines.
Today, House of Fontanini proudly continues this legacy through retail and e-commerce sales direct to collectors. For over 25 years, our locally owned small business has proudly shared these beloved pieces with families and collectors everywhere. Here in our Minnesota warehouse, we like to say our mission clearly:
“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
Whether you are expanding a cherished collection or starting a new Nativity tradition, we invite you to shop Fontanini and discover treasures in our Fontanini Outlet at HouseofFontanini.com.
