Shepherd on camel woman offering food 30 cm Angela Tripi.Nativity scene statue 30 cm made by the famous Italian crib maker Angela Tripi, which depicts a representation of a camel shepherd 50x48x25 cm and a woman who offers him a tray containing food.The Italian nativity statues are made entirely of hand-painted terracotta with tempera colors and the clothes are made of skilfully modeled starched fabrics.Note the attention shown by Tripi to every single detail, from the camel that is visibly ruminating to the features of the shepherd's face, from the precise folds of the clothes to the technique through which the artist managed to separate the fingers of the subjects' hands. It is precisely this special attention to detail that makes this statue unique and decidedly realistic.The camel is depicted standing with a cloth saddle on which the shepherd is comfortably seated. Various items are tied to the saddle, including water jugs, plates, wicker baskets, and a bundle of straw. The man holds the bridle of the animal in his right hand while in his left hand he holds a slice of bread kindly offered by the woman. If you pay attention to the shepherd's face, you notice a grateful expression towards the generous woman, with a hint of a smile and a happy look.We can also note a standing woman stretching her arms towards the male figure offering a golden tray on which a bowl full of food is placed. The effort made to hand the food to the shepherd is also highlighted by the position of the feet, one of which has only a toe resting on the ground. His mouth is slightly open, thus alluding to the conversation taking place between the two. 100% handcrafted in Italy.
