Seated Sheep – Fontanini® 12" Collection (52941)
Brand: House of Fontanini | Item Code: 52941
Bring a peaceful pastoral presence to your Nativity display with the Seated Sheep from the Fontanini® 12" Collection. Sculpted in a natural resting pose, this beautifully detailed figure features textured white fleece with soft beige shading and carefully defined brown hooves. Its calm expression and tucked-leg posture create a serene sense of stillness, making it ideal for placement near shepherds, village settings, or along the edge of your scene to add depth and authenticity.
For over 100 years, the Fontanini family tradition has flourished in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany. Founded in 1908 by Emanuele Fontanini, what began as a small shop has grown into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity figures. Each piece is molded from durable polymer, meticulously sculpted, and hand-painted by skilled artisans in a multi-generational, family-guided process.
At HouseofFontanini.com, we are honored to carry on this tradition—bringing these timeless pieces directly to your home. For over 25 years as a locally owned small business in Minnesota, our mission remains:
“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
The Seated Sheep represents the flocks tended by shepherds—among the first to witness the birth of Christ. Sheep were ever-present in Bethlehem’s fields, making this figure an essential element of an authentic Nativity scene. Carefully sculpted to capture the natural curl and weight of wool, this piece blends warm cream and subtle earth tones for a realistic and timeless finish.
