Kneeling Virgin Mary for 8-10 cm Neapolitan Nativity Scene, terracotta; dimensions 6.5x6x5 cm.
The figure depicts the Virgin Mary kneeling in prayer before the Infant Jesus, in an attitude of recollection and devotion.
The face and limbs are modelled and painted in terracotta, while the garments are hand-sewn in fabric according to the traditional style of Neapolitan Nativity figures.
Made by Creazioni Paolo e Giulia, a craft workshop rooted in the ancient Neapolitan Nativity tradition. The terracotta is shaped and hand-painted, and the dressing is carried out manually, preserving the know-how of the Neapolitan ateliers and giving each figure its own character.
Limited availability of the fabrics used for the garments makes every piece unique. Colours, patterns and small details of the vestments may therefore vary slightly from the photographs, a feature that testifies to the artisanal nature of the work.
Ideal for completing the Nativity scene or to accompany other 8-10 cm figures.
