Man with ricotta cheese in terracotta, 12 cm Neapolitan nativity.
Nativity statue depicting a man carrying cheese and ricotta in two vases on his shoulder and in his hand and others hung with ropes on his arm.
The cheese maker statue is made of terracotta and cloth by nativity craftsmen from Naples, Italy, the capital of the nativity scene tradition. This statue is the result of a long artisan production process where it is hand finished in every detail. It is modeled out of terracotta, then painted and covered by hand with fabric. The limited availability of fabrics and colors makes each statue unique and unrepeatable. Suitable for 12 cm sets, this statue has a real height of 12.5 cm.
