Seated Ox – Fontanini® 12" Collection

House of Fontanini | Item Code: 52934

Rooted in over a century of Italian craftsmanship, the Seated Ox – Fontanini® 12" Collection is an essential and meaningful addition to your Nativity display. Carefully sculpted and hand-painted in Italy, this beautifully detailed figure reflects the timeless artistry that has defined the Fontanini tradition since 1908 in Bagni di Lucca, Tuscany.

The ox has long held a place of honor within the Nativity scene. Symbolizing patience, humility, strength, and quiet service, the seated ox is present in the stable on the holy night as a gentle witness to the birth of Christ. Positioned beside the manger, this figure adds depth, authenticity, and spiritual symbolism to your 12" scale Nativity.

Expertly crafted from durable polymer, this piece features realistic horn detail, softly textured sculpting, and subtle hand-painted shading that brings warmth and dimension to the figure. The calm expression and grounded posture allow it to blend naturally into the stable setting while drawing attention to its quiet reverence.

At House of Fontanini, we are honored to carry forward this cherished Italian legacy. For over 25 years as a locally owned small business, our mission has remained:

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