Shepherd feeding pigs 13 cm, Tripi

Shepherd feeding pigs 13 cm, Tripi.
Daily scene of country life: a shepherd who feeds his pigs and other farm animals. A gesture that the man repeats every day with diligence. All the nativity statues are handmade, in terracotta and cloth, with skill and care by the Sicilian artist Angela Tripi. Normally the statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are made with a skeleton made with fabrics and with endpieces in terracotta (the head, hands and feet). In her works, the artist tells a story: each nativity scene figurine is depicted in a moment of his life, thus allowing us to understand the existence of a before and after. Characteristic details often emerge such as tense muscles or expression lines. Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each nativity animal an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable. Adapted for a 13 cm nativity scene.
