Maasai with buffalo for 30 cm Nativity Scene by Angela Tripi.
Statue of a Maasai with buffalo from Atelier Angela Tripi, inspired by the landscapes and atmospheres of East Africa. The composition pairs the Maasai figure with the buffalo to form an intense scene that evokes the relationship between man, nature and territory.
The work comes from the artisanal tradition of Atelier Tripi, renowned for figures made entirely by hand. The atelier's distinctive style emphasises expressive faces, natural poses and carefully considered small details. Each character is conceived as an individual, with its own face, posture and story.
Unlike traditional statues built on an internal structure, Atelier Tripi's creations are modelled fully in the body and only afterwards dressed in fabrics and embellished with small ornaments. This technique highlights many details, from muscles to hands, facial wrinkles and the folds of the body, enhancing realism and movement. Clothes, accessories and the positioning of the figures all contribute to the vivid expressiveness of the scene.
Every stage of production is handcrafted, so small differences may occur from one statue to another; for this reason each Atelier Tripi creation is a unique, unrepeatable piece.
Real dimensions: 31x34x25 cm.
