20" Scale Seated Ox

House of Fontanini | Item #: 53434

Bring peaceful stillness and timeless symbolism to your nativity display with the 20" Scale Seated Ox by Fontanini. Reverently sculpted and hand-painted in Italy, this beautifully detailed ox features a rich chestnut coat, textured hide, curled resting legs, and attentive eyes gently turned toward the Holy Family. Its calm presence captures the quiet humility of the Bethlehem stable while grounding your larger-scale scene in warmth and tradition.

The ox is one of the oldest symbols connected to the Nativity, representing strength, patience, and faithful service in welcoming Christ. Crafted from Fontanini’s signature marble-based resin and finished by skilled artisans in a multi-generational family process, this heirloom-quality figure reflects over a century of Italian craftsmanship that began in 1908 in Bagni di Lucca, Italy.

At House of Fontanini, we are proud to carry on the tradition started by Emanuele Fontanini more than 100 years ago. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota business has been dedicated to sharing these treasured pieces with families across the country. From our warehouse to your home, our mission remains: “Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”

This seated ox perfectly complements other 20" scale nativity animals and Holy Family figures, making it an essential addition to your larger Fontanini Italian Nativity display.
