Good shepherd 30 cm, nativity Angela Tripi

Good shepherd 30 cm, nativity Angela Tripi.
The shepherd with the lamb on his shoulder is a typical character of the traditional nativity scene and depicts the Good Shepherd: the symbol of God's love shown to men. The shepherd protects his sheep from wolves during the night and the lamb keeps it with him. All the nativity statues are hand-made, in terracotta and cloth, with skill and care by the Sicilian artist Angela Tripi. Normally the statues of the traditional crib are made with a skeleton made of cloth and with terracotta ends (the head, hands and feet). In his works, the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted in a moment of his life, thus allowing us to understand the existence of a before and after. Characteristic details often emerge as tense muscles of a slave or the expression lines of an elderly person. Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each shepherd an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: her works will never be the same, precisely because they are unique. Adapted for a 30 cm nativity scene.
