Moor with horn for 14-16 cm Neapolitan Nativity Scene, overall dimensions: 17x6x4.5 cm.
The figurine represents a musician playing a large curved horn, wearing traditional clothing in fabric, with face and limbs modelled in terracotta. The figure calls to mind the players who animated scenes of festivity and daily life, enriching the Nativity with expressive movement and character.
Entirely handcrafted in Naples, this statuette is the product of a long artisanal tradition that has made the Neapolitan Nativity Scene a symbol of Italian culture. Each piece is created by the skilled modelling of terracotta and subsequently dressed with fabrics applied by hand, following techniques handed down by the master Nativity craftsmen of Naples.
The limited availability of the fabrics used makes every example unique. For this reason, colours, patterns and small details of the clothing may vary slightly from the photographs, enhancing the value of the handcrafted work.
Ideal for completing Nativity Scenes with 14-16 cm figures, this character fits perfectly into market scenes, processions and traditional settings of the Neapolitan Nativity school.
