HOT ! Asher, Shepherd - Fontanini® 50\" Collection

Asher the Young Shepherd – 50\" Scale Nativity Figure

Brand: House of Fontanini | Item #52368

Asher the Young Shepherd brings a tender, human presence to large-scale Nativity displays. Gently cradling a lamb while holding his cap close, Asher captures the innocence, humility, and quiet responsibility of youth within the Bethlehem story. His barefoot stance and simple attire reflect the modest lives of those first called to witness Christ’s birth, while his warm expression conveys devotion, peace, and compassion.

Expertly sculpted with lifelike detail, Asher’s garments feature richly textured folds and natural, hand-painted tones that lend depth and realism to the figure. The delicately formed lamb in his arms and the softness of his facial features showcase the artistry and reverence synonymous with Fontanini craftsmanship. This impressive 50\" scale figure creates a meaningful focal point for church, institutional, and grand home Nativity scenes.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition carried on at HouseOfFontanini.com began more than a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the Tuscan hills. Founded by Emanuele Fontanini in 1908, the family workshop grew from humble beginnings into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity figures. Each piece is meticulously crafted and hand-painted by skilled Italian artisans using a marble-based resin/stone mix, preserving a legacy of beauty, faith, and storytelling.

For over 25 years, HouseOfFontanini.com has proudly continued this tradition as a locally owned small business. From our Minnesota warehouse, our mission remains:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
