Josiah the Bagpiper – 50" Scale Fontanini Nativity Figure

Brand: House of Fontanini | Item #52352

Josiah the Bagpiper lends a stirring sense of celebration and devotion to your Nativity display. Dressed in layered rustic garments with a weathered cloak draped across his shoulders, Josiah plays his bagpipes with reverence, offering music as his humble gift to the newborn King. His presence beautifully reflects the timeless Nativity message — that joy, faith, and simple offerings all have a place at Bethlehem.

Depicted as a traveling shepherd-musician journeying toward the Holy Family, Josiah’s sculpted details reveal exceptional Italian artistry. From the natural folds of his cloak to the textured finishes of his garments, every element is hand-crafted and hand-painted in warm, earthy tones. The result is a figure rich in movement, realism, and storytelling.

Perfectly suited for larger church, chapel, school, and grand home Nativity scenes, this impressive 50" scale figure creates a focal point of visual interest while enhancing the spirit of worship and tradition.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition carried on at HouseOfFontanini.com began over a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, where Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. Today, that legacy continues through heirloom-quality figures meticulously sculpted and painted by skilled artisans. For over 25 years, we are proud to be a locally owned small business sharing this beloved tradition from our Minnesota warehouse. Our mission remains: “Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
