Man on camel for 24 cm Neapolitan Nativity Scene.
Terracotta figurine of 42x27x15 cm depicting a traveler seated on his camel, gazing toward the horizon.
The figure is finished with hand-applied fabric clothing; the expressive pose and attention to detail make it perfect for enriching a Nativity setting with a character of pronounced Oriental flavour.
Handcrafted in Naples, the cradle of the Italian Nativity tradition, this piece is born of the experience of master Nativity artisans who for generations have preserved the art of terracotta modelling and figure-making. Each piece is finished by hand and distinguished by meticulous detailing, helping to maintain the tradition that has made the Neapolitan Nativity famous worldwide.
The limited availability of the fabrics used for the garments makes every figurine unique. Colours, patterns and small clothing details may therefore vary slightly from the images, confirming the authenticity of the artisanal workmanship.
Ideal for 24 cm Nativity Scenes, this character fits harmoniously into desert scenes, village settings and tableaux depicting the journey of the Magi.
