Rug merchant, 30 cm Angela Tripi.
Suitable for a Nativity Scene with standing characters 30 cm tall.
The man walks with a heavy load trying to attract the attention of the customers. The face tells his life: the wrinkles of the face and tired eyes tell us his thoughtful mood and the daily effort to be able to feed his family. Something, however, distracts him, someone made an important announcement on the street: the Savior was born. All the nativity statues are handmade, in terracotta and cloth, then meticulously painted by hand. It is a true work 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). The statues of the artist Angela Tripi instead 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 statue is depicted in a moment of their life, thus allowing us to understand the existence of a before and after. Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each nativity figure an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: making each piece one of a kind.
CHARACTERS MAY DIFFER FROM THE PHOTO AS EVERY SCULPTURE IS A UNIQUE PIECE, BY CHOICE FROM THE ARTIST.
