Man with olive grinder for animated Nativity Scene from Naples, 12 cm. Handcrafted terracotta figurine made entirely by Neapolitan nativity scene artisans, keepers of ancient knowledge passed down from generation to generation. Every detail is finished with extraordinary precision: from the painting to the clothing, down to the accessories, to create a realistic and character-rich scene. The composition depicts a man grinding olives with a special machine: the hands move and the roller crushes the olives, simulating oil production realistically and dynamically. The scene has an overall height of 14.7 cm, while the figurine alone measures 13.5 cm. All placed on a rectangular base of 13x19.3 cm. The movement is powered by a 4-watt electric motor. An animated scenographic element, ideal for enriching the nativity scene with a touch of daily life, craftsmanship, and authenticity of the peasant tradition.
