Girl on Donkey – 240B – Fontanini 12 cm Figurines
Fontanini 240B Girl on Donkey by 12 cm depicts a young woman on the move, a figure that adds dynamism and realism to the nativity scene setting. Sitting side-saddle on the donkey's back, she confidently leads the animal by holding the reins in her right hand, while in her left she carries an amphora, a precious symbol of everyday life in villages of the past.
What makes this figurine particularly evocative is the shawl that, stirred by the wind, wraps around her head, covering her nose and mouth. A detail that brings movement to the composition and recalls the long journeys undertaken through the countryside and along dusty roads, giving the scene a strong sense of authenticity.
Made by Fontanini, this figure stands out for its excellent modeling quality and the richness of its details, from the girl's expression to the rendering of the donkey, down to the details of the amphora and the folds of the traditional clothing.
Perfect for nativity scenes in 12 cm scale, the Girl on Donkey finds its ideal placement along the village paths, near the well or at the entrance to the Nativity scene, helping to create a nativity display full of life, movement, and faithfulness to tradition. A figurine that combines elegance, realism, and the artisanal quality that has always distinguished Fontanini creations.
