Terracotta cobbler for 12 cm Neapolitan Nativity Scene.
Among the crafts that characterise the Neapolitan Nativity, the cobbler is one of the most traditional artisan figures. The figurine shows him at work, evoking the daily life and atmosphere of the old alleyways.
The body of the figure is modelled in terracotta and hand-finished, while the fabric clothing completes the composition with a natural, harmonious effect. Care in modelling and detailing highlights the piece's artisanal character.
Produced by Creazioni Paolo e Giulia, an Italian workshop that for years has made Nativity characters in keeping with the Neapolitan tradition: every stage, from terracotta modelling to the finishing touches, is carried out by hand. Limited availability of the fabrics used means colours, patterns and small clothing details may vary slightly, making each figurine unique.
Designed for Nativity Scenes with 12 cm figures.
