Throughout history cats have had a place in the lives of man. They can be mysterious, independent, and aloof, which is exactly why we love them.
Because they wander freely, it's easy to assume they may have been present, in the stable, for the birth of Jesus. Even if that isn't so, they are one of those little details, that when combined with your other pieces, will create a finished looking village, with a lot of life.
Sheep provided clothing, food, even milk. Shepherds' tales passed down through time describe the tender and affectionate nature of these loving animals
It's no secret: Fontanini religious figurine collectors flock to their groupings of figures and animals because these coordinated pieces make nativity settings shine. Their 5-piece family of 5" scale "white sheep" figures has all the variety you want for posing and all the authenticity you crave
The 5" scale "Camel With Blanket" figurine reflects the artisan's commitment to design excellence, giving your nativity setting the authentic look you treasure. Includes a story card telling the life about the Camel with saddle blanket

The Children's Camel had been on the journey with mighty King Melchior since the beginning. At the palace in Melchior's homeland this camel had been the cherished pet of th youngest of his descendents.
Since the beginning of time dogs have been loyal, loving companions to men. In ancient times (and still today) they worked protecting, and herding farmer's flocks.
Christmas cannot come soon enough. I feel like a child anticipating the season. I cannot imagine a more worthy Christmas offering for my friends and family.

People living in the Holy Land treasured their flocks. During biblical times, Sheep were greatly needed by man as a source of food, and because of their wool, for warm clothing. They also served as a gauge in determining one's wealth.
Fontanini pays tribute to this invaluable animal by crafting a 3-piece Sheep Family grouping, to display within your nativity village. The highly, skilled artisans at Fontanini hand-painted these intricately, detailed pieces.
