Moorish musician with horn for 14 cm Neapolitan Nativity Scene.
Terracotta figurine representing a standing musician playing a horn, dressed in traditional fabric garments with a terracotta-modeled face. The character is one of the typical figures that enliven Neapolitan Nativity Scenes, helping to recreate the lively atmosphere of markets and village squares.
Each statuette is entirely handmade in Naples, where the art of the Nativity is preserved in artisan workshops using time-honoured techniques. The terracotta modelling, the dressing with fabrics and the careful finishing of details make every piece an expression of authentic Neapolitan Nativity craftsmanship.
Limited availability of the fabrics used for the costumes makes each example unique: colours, patterns and small details may vary slightly from the photographs, enhancing the artisanal character of the figure.
Ideal for 14 cm Nativity Scenes, this statuette integrates perfectly into traditional settings alongside shops, squares and everyday life scenes.
Dimensions: 16.5x7.5x6.5 cm.
