Rachel with Basket of Fruit – 27" Scale

House of Fontanini | Item #53147

Bring the beauty of daily life in Bethlehem into your Nativity display with Rachel the Villager, a graceful and authentic figure from the renowned Fontanini 27" Collection. Rachel represents the faithful townspeople whose everyday routines continued as the miracle of Christ’s birth unfolded.

She is depicted carrying a full woven basket of fruit, intricately sculpted with individual shapes and textures for remarkable realism. Her flowing garments, finished in warm reds, soft creams, and muted earth tones, are carefully shaded to create natural depth and movement. Subtle facial detailing and lifelike coloring give Rachel a dignified presence, making her an essential supporting figure in larger institutional or church-scale Nativity displays.

Crafted in Italy using a marble-based resin formula, each piece is hand-sculpted and hand-painted by skilled artisans, preserving a tradition that began over a century ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy. Established in 1908 by Emanuele Fontanini, the family workshop has grown into a world-renowned creator of heirloom-quality Nativity collections.

At House of Fontanini, we proudly continue this tradition from our Minnesota warehouse. For over 25 years, as a locally owned small business, we have shared our passion for these timeless pieces under our mission:

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