Fontanini Sapphira Shepherdess

Sapphira the Shepherdess brings a sense of life and authenticity to the Fontanini Nativity. Holding her staff beside a woven basket, she's sculpted with remarkable attention to movement and detail from the gentle curve of her posture, to the realistic folds of her garments. Every brushstroke highlights Fontanini's Italian craftsmanship, creating a figure that feels timeless and genuine.

Shepherding was considered a lowly task in first century Judea. So, it was usually delegated to women, children, and the elderly. Even today in Israel, you will find a lot of women taking on the role.
