Washerwoman for 8 cm Neapolitan Nativity Scene, terracotta.
Among the trades that enliven the Neapolitan Nativity, the washerwoman represents a scene of daily life rooted in tradition. The figurine depicts her washing clothes in a tub, recreating an activity that for centuries characterised the alleyways and courtyards of popular neighbourhoods.
The figure's body is modelled in terracotta, while the clothing is made from carefully selected fabrics, materials that lend naturalness to the composition and enhance the character's expressiveness.
Produced by Creazioni Paolo e Giulia, an Italian artisan workshop that interprets the Neapolitan Nativity tradition using time-honoured techniques. Each figurine is handmade, from the modelling of the terracotta to the final finishing, with particular attention to proportion and detail.
The garments may present slight variations in colour, pattern and finishing, a distinctive feature of artisanal production that makes every piece unique.
Ideal for enriching Nativity Scenes with 8 cm figures.
