Gabriel with Lamb on Neck Shepherd – Fontanini® 7.5" Collection

House of Fontanini | Item #72851

Gabriel the Shepherd embodies quiet strength, compassion, and faithful watchfulness as he gently carries a lamb across his shoulders. His upward gaze and tender posture reflect a heart devoted to both duty and faith, making him a meaningful and expressive presence within your Nativity display.

Part of the beloved 7.5" scale collection, this beautifully sculpted figure adds pastoral warmth and emotional depth to your Christmas village scene. Gabriel’s lifelike detail, flowing garments, and carefully hand-painted features capture the humanity and reverence that define the Fontanini tradition. Whether displayed alongside fellow shepherds or near the Holy Family, Gabriel brings balance, storytelling, and heartfelt symbolism to your heirloom Nativity.

Crafted in Italy of durable polymer, each figure is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans in a multi-generational, family-guided process. The result is a richly detailed piece designed to be treasured for generations.

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 Fontanini family grew into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines.

Today, that tradition is carried on here at HouseofFontanini.com. For over 25 years, we have proudly served as a locally owned small business, providing both retail and e-commerce sales direct to collectors and families across the country. From our Minnesota warehouse, we remain committed to our mission:

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