Basket seller 30 cm terracotta Angela Tripi.30 cm statue depicting a basket seller in the middle of the working day.The 30 cm terracotta nativity statue was made and hand painted with tempera colors by Angela Tripi, an Italian nativity scene artist recognized worldwide.The vendor carries an innumerable amount of wicker baskets with him, some of them on his back and others held firmly in his hands. His clothes, made of skilfully modeled starched fabrics, are typical of a market vendor, just look at the turban he wears on his head or the towel he carries on his back to avoid damaging the goods. The nativity statue is characterized by an astonishing realism and seems to tell the emotions of man through attention to detail. Focusing your attention on the salesman's face reveals an expression of dissatisfaction, perhaps a consequence of the unproductive day or perhaps due to a deeper thought about life.The attention to detail makes this object one of a kind, observe for example the fingers that appear separate from each other as they are made with a special technique that requires a long process. 100% handcrafted in Italy.
