Lucas, Shepherd with Hen – Fontanini® 27" Collection

House of Fontanini | Item #53189

Bring authentic Italian craftsmanship and rich storytelling to your large-scale Nativity display with the Lucas, Shepherd with Hen figure from the renowned Fontanini 27" Institutional Collection.

Lucas is captured mid-task, carrying a basket of hens as he moves through the village—an image that beautifully represents the humble offerings brought to the Christ Child. His cheerful expression, rolled sleeves, crimson trousers, sturdy vest, and draped cloak reflect the hardworking joy of daily life in Bethlehem. With natural movement and expressive sculpting, Lucas adds warmth, realism, and visual depth to any 27" Nativity scene for church, school, or home display.

Crafted in Italy from durable marble-based resin, each figure is meticulously hand-sculpted and hand-painted by skilled artisans. The marble-based composition provides substantial weight and heirloom durability while preserving fine facial features and garment detail.

For over a century, the Fontanini Nativity tradition has flourished in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, where Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. Today, that legacy continues through a multi-generational, family-guided process of sculpting, molding, and hand painting.

At House of Fontanini, we are proud to carry that tradition forward. For over 25 years, our Minnesota-based small business has been dedicated to “Telling His Story, one piece at a time.” From our warehouse to your display, we not only sell Fontanini — we love it too.
