Paul, Shepherd – 7.5" Scale

House of Fontanini | Item #52869

Bring the quiet strength and watchful devotion of the shepherds to your Nativity display with Paul, Shepherd – Item 52869 from the beloved 7.5" Fontanini® Collection.

Paul is beautifully depicted carrying a lantern in one hand while a lamb rests securely across his shoulders and another sheep stands faithfully at his side. His rugged cloak and simple tunic reflect the humble life of a shepherd—steadfast, protective, and attentive through the night. Inspired by the story of a young shepherd whose careful watch led him to witness the angel’s announcement of Christ’s birth, this figure captures both the tenderness of a caretaker and the awe of that holy night.

Crafted in Italy by the skilled artisans of the Fontanini family, Paul is meticulously sculpted in durable polymer, then carefully hand-painted in natural, lifelike tones. The flowing cape, expressive features, and detailed sheep make this piece a meaningful addition to any 7.5" scale Nativity village.

A collectible story card is included, enriching your display with the heritage and narrative behind Paul the Shepherd.

The Fontanini Tradition

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop in 1908. From humble beginnings, the family business has grown into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each figure is sculpted, molded, and hand-painted in a multi-generational, family-guided process that honors craftsmanship and faith.

Today, House of Fontanini proudly carries on that tradition through direct retail and e-commerce sales. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota small business has shared these treasured pieces with collectors across the country. From our warehouse to your home, we remain dedicated to our mission:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
