Beggar figurine, 18 cm Tripi nativity

Beggar figurine, 18 cm Tripi nativity.
Suitable for a Nativity Scene with standing characters 18 cm tall
The beggar is sitting on the ground, with his arm extended, waiting for the benevolence of a passerby. His face and eyes are desperate, but soon a light will give him hope. 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.
