Camel statue with rider, 18 cm, nativity Angela Tripi. Made of terracotta. The nativity scene camel figurine is made of terracotta and cloth with hand painted details. Angela Tripi manages to create figurines characterized by an extraordinary wealth of details, charisma and expression.A very important peculiarity is that the statues of Angela Tripi have completely formed bodies. Typically terracotta statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are built from a skeleton then covered with fabrics to which the head, hands and feet are applied.The statues of the Tripi instead have the terracotta body "dressed" in cloth.In these works, the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted at a specific moment in its life, telling us a complete story.Details such as; tense muscles, tendons, expression lines and hands (open and with well-defined fingers) often emerge clearly.Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each statue an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: her statues are never the same, rending each piece unique. The statue is adapted for a 18 cm scene.
