This hand-carved wooden figure from Pema Woodcarvings' Rainell collection depicts a shepherdess holding bread on a peel. It is finely hand-painted and part of the traditional Italian nativity figures from Val Gardena.

The Shepherdess with Bread is a hand-carved wooden nativity figure crafted by Pema Woodcarvings, a studio renowned for its traditional Val Gardena nativity sets. This figure belongs to the Pema Rainell collection, which features small-scale figures up to 15 cm tall. The shepherdess is depicted bending forward, holding a long peel with a loaf of bread, dressed in period-appropriate clothing with a headscarf and apron, all meticulously hand-painted to highlight the folds and textures.

Made for indoor nativity scenes, this artisan nativity figure exemplifies the studio's commitment to detailed craftsmanship and traditional Italian nativity artistry. Available in three sizes ranging from 9 to 15 cm, it complements other shepherd and villager figures in the collection. Navidad Nativities selects and ships these figures, ensuring collectors receive authentic hand-carved wooden nativity figures from Italy.
