Paul the Shepherd

House of Fontanini – Item #72688

Bring reverence and pastoral beauty to your Nativity display with Paul the Shepherd from the Fontanini® 5" Collection. Thoughtfully sculpted and hand-painted in Italy, this beloved figure captures the quiet devotion of the shepherds who first received the angels’ message on the night of Christ’s birth.

Paul stands attentively with staff in hand, his gaze lifted heavenward as a faithful sheep rests at his feet. Layered garments in warm ochre and plum tones reflect the natural simplicity of biblical life, while intricate detailing and soft shading bring warmth and realism to the scene. His posture speaks of vigilance, humility, and steadfast care—qualities that define the shepherd’s sacred role in the Nativity story.

Crafted of durable polymer and finished by skilled Italian artisans, this 5" scale figure blends seamlessly into your Fontanini village. Whether displayed alongside the Holy Family or positioned among fellow shepherds and animals, Paul adds depth, authenticity, and heartfelt storytelling to your collection.

For over 100 years, the Fontanini family of Bagni di Lucca, Italy has created heirloom-quality Nativity figures, continuing the tradition begun by Emanuele Fontanini in 1908. At House of Fontanini, we are proud to carry on that legacy for more than 25 years from our Minnesota warehouse — “Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
