Standing Donkey – Fontanini® 7.5" Collection
Brand: House of Fontanini | Item #: 52794

A beloved symbol of humility within the Nativity story, the Standing Donkey is thoughtfully sculpted to convey calm strength and quiet devotion. Finished in a warm natural brown with deeper shading along the legs, back, and face, this figure features a gently lowered head and forward-facing ears, capturing a lifelike, attentive stance. Whether placed beside the Holy Family, within a village scene, or along a caravan path, this piece adds authenticity and narrative richness to your 7.5" scale Fontanini display.

Crafted in Italy from durable polymer and meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans, this donkey reflects Fontanini’s century-long tradition of artistry and reverence. The donkey is honored as the faithful companion that carried Mary on the journey to Bethlehem — a timeless reminder of simple service at the heart of Christmas.

At House of Fontanini, we proudly carry forward a Nativity tradition that began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. Each Fontanini figure is sculpted, molded, and hand-painted in Italy using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. For over 25 years, we have been honored to share these heirloom-quality pieces with collectors and families across the country. From our Minnesota warehouse, our mission remains:

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