Bird merchant, 13 cm Angela Tripi

Bird seller statue, 13 cm Angela Tripi.
The bird merchant is sitting surrounded by wooden crates full of birds and bowls with bird feed.
The old bird seller figure holds a white dove in his hands, but his eyes are on the others. After a long day, he hopes to earn some money, but he doesn't know that soon he will receive the announcement of the birth of the Savior. All the nativity statues are handmade, in terracotta and cloth, then meticulously painted by hand. They are true works of art made with skill and attention at Angela Tripi's artistic workshop. Normally the statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are made with a skeleton made with fabrics and with the ends in terracotta (the head, hands and feet). However, the statues of the artist Angela Tripi have completely formed bodies: they are modeled naked and subsequently dressed with fabrics and small jewels. In her works, the artist tells a story: each nativity scene character is depicted in a moment of their life, allowing us to understand the existence of a before and after moment. Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each figure an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: no two works are ever the same, rending each piece one of a kind. Adapted for a 13 cm nativity set. CHARACTERS MAY DIFFER FROM THE PHOTO AS EVERY SCULPTURE IS A UNIQUE PIECE, BY CHOICE FROM THE ARTIST.
