Abraham, Shepherd with Dog – Fontanini® 27" Collection

House of Fontanini | Item #53199

Bring depth, devotion, and authentic Italian artistry to your display with Abraham, Shepherd with Dog from the beloved Fontanini® 27" Collection. Depicted in a quiet moment of reflection, Abraham leans thoughtfully upon his staff while his faithful dog rests at his side — a moving representation of steadfast watchfulness on that holy night.

Expertly sculpted in Italy, Abraham’s weathered expression, textured beard, and flowing garments reflect a lifetime of tending flocks. Rich earth tones of ochre, rust, and cream create a grounded, realistic presence, while the carefully carved stone base and detailed animal companion add dimensional authenticity. This impressive 27" scale figure is ideal for institutional displays, churches, and large home Nativity settings, offering a powerful visual anchor near stables or shepherd groupings.

Crafted from durable marble-based resin and meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans, each piece reflects the enduring legacy of the Fontanini family.

The Fontanini Legacy

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 piece is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted through a multi-generational, family-guided process.

Today, House of Fontanini proudly continues that tradition by providing direct retail and e-commerce sales to collectors across the country. For over 25 years, we’ve been honored to serve from our Minnesota warehouse as a locally owned small business that not only sells Fontanini — but truly loves it.

Our mission remains simple and heartfelt:

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