Terracotta bagpiper with ciaramella for 12 cm Neapolitan Nativity Scene, dimensions approx. 9x5x4 cm.
The figurine depicts a young shepherd playing the ciaramella, an instrument traditionally associated with bagpipers and Christmas celebrations. The head and limbs are modelled in terracotta, while the garments are made of fabric and finished with a wool cloak that evokes the typical attire of shepherds.
Produced by Creazioni Paolo e Giulia, an artisanal workshop rooted in the Neapolitan Nativity tradition, the figure is entirely handcrafted. The terracotta modelling, dressing and detailing follow techniques of Neapolitan creche art handed down through generations.
Limited availability of the fabrics used makes each figurine unique: colours, patterns and small details of the clothing may vary slightly from the photographs, reflecting the artisanal nature of every piece.
Ideal for completing pastoral scenes and Nativity displays with 12 cm figures; paired with other musical characters, this statuette helps recreate one of the most characteristic musical pairings of the Christmas tradition.
