Seated Camel – Fontanini® 27" Collection

House of Fontanini | Item #53145

The Seated Camel – 27" Scale beautifully captures the spirit of the Nativity journey, reflecting the noble animals used for travel and trade during the time of Christ’s birth. Resting peacefully on the ground, this richly detailed figure evokes the long pilgrimage to Bethlehem, often associated with the Magi and their caravan.

Meticulously sculpted in Italy by Fontanini, this camel features lifelike texture—from its curled fur to its natural resting posture—paired with layered tack and draped coverings in deep turquoise, warm earth tones, and touches of gold. Each piece is carefully hand-painted, showcasing subtle color variations and artisanal craftsmanship that bring remarkable realism and depth to your display.

Crafted from durable marble-based resin, this 27" scale figure is designed for institutional and large-scale Nativity scenes. Whether paired with the Three Kings or positioned within a desert setting, the Seated Camel enhances your display with movement, authenticity, and visual balance.

At House of Fontanini, we are honored to continue a tradition that began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first shop in 1908. Today, that legacy of family-guided craftsmanship lives on in every heirloom-quality piece. For over 25 years, our locally owned Minnesota business has proudly shared this tradition with collectors around the world.

From our warehouse to your home or church display, our mission remains the same:
“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
