Description from the seller
Jesus child for nativity scene – Wood – Lepi, Val Gardena, South Tyrol – approx. 1975-2000
Professionally shipped – more than 850 five-star reviews worldwide.
Hand-carved wooden Jesus child from Lepi's workshop, with the warm, expressive gaze and soft modeling that are so characteristic of the Val Gardena tradition. The child is depicted in a relaxed pose with one hand slightly raised, the skin tones are very natural, and the loincloth is finely detailed. Lepi continues the centuries-old regional woodcarving tradition with this type of work, emphasizing expression and simplicity. The figurine is presented on a bed of natural straw. With a height of 8cm, this figure is suitable for use in a Christmas scene with a standing Joseph or Mary figure of approximately 25-30cm.
Length 8 cm, in good condition with light signs of age on the polychromy. A few tiny signs of use on a couple of little fingers and a toe.
Please look at the photos carefully, they are part of the description.
Shipped with track & trace.
