Zillah the Villager Woman – Fontanini® 5" Collection

House of Fontanini – Item #54124

Graceful and reflective, Zillah the Villager Woman brings a quiet moment of humanity and warmth to your Fontanini Italian Nativity village. Seated gently on a wooden bundle with one hand resting softly at her side, Zillah’s thoughtful posture captures a story of humility, growth, and the quiet discovery of beauty in others—and within oneself.

Her attire reflects the soft earth tones of village life. A warm rose-red tunic drapes naturally beneath a light beige apron, while a muted blue headscarf frames her expression with subtle elegance. Each fold of fabric and grain of wood is meticulously sculpted and hand-painted, showcasing the fine artistry that collectors expect from the Fontanini 5" scale collection.

Crafted in Italy from durable polymer and finished by skilled artisans, Zillah embodies the timeless craftsmanship that has defined Fontanini Nativity pieces for generations. Reintroduced in 2023, she is a wonderful addition for collectors looking to expand their village scene with meaningful storytelling figures.

Zillah pairs beautifully with Ari (her son), the Olive Press, and the Town Well, helping create a lively and authentic Bethlehem village setting around the Nativity.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition carried on here at HouseofFontanini.com began more than a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, nestled in the hills of Tuscany. In 1908, Emanuele Fontanini opened a small workshop that would grow into one of the world’s most beloved creators of heirloom-quality Nativity sets. Each figure is carefully sculpted, molded, and hand-painted in a multi-generational artisan tradition.

Today, House of Fontanini proudly continues that legacy. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota small business has been dedicated to sharing these treasured pieces with collectors around the world. We invite you to shop Fontanini with confidence and explore our Fontanini Outlet for beautiful additions to your Nativity collection.

Here in our Minnesota warehouse, we proudly live by our mission:
“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
