Servant with umbrella, 30 cm Tripi Collection. The slave helps the Magi to get off his horse. He protects him from the sun with the fabric umbrella: his skin should not get red or tan. Unlike the statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, which are made with a skeleton in fabric and with the ends in terracotta, those by Angela Tripi are entirely made of terracotta. All the nativity statues are handmade with skill and care in the atelier by the Sicilian artist Angela Tripi. The faces and expressions are intense and at the same time express harmony, movement, and tradition. This scene draws inspiration from the ancient Arab world, the statues are reworked in an appropriate and personal way by the artist with the aim of recreating the magical atmosphere of the environment of that time. CHARACTERS MAY DIFFER FROM THE PHOTO AS EVERY SCULPTURE IS A UNIQUE PIECE, MADE DIFFERENT BY THE ARTIST.
