Carpet salesman for Tripi's Nativity Scene with 18 cm terracotta characters

Carpet salesman for Tripi's Nativity Scene with 18 cm terracotta characters. The man is surrounded by precious carpets, holding one of them to present it to his potential clients. His face looks pensive and tired and his clothes are old and dirty, showing how his work is hard and consuming.
Every nativity scene statue of Angela Tripi is characterized by a strong and careful attention to detail.
Angela Tripi takes inspiration from the ancient Arab world for the creation of her figures and, by appropriately reworking the history and customs, comes to her own personal interpretation of the characters of the time.
Normally the statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are made with a skeleton, fabrics, and terracotta ends (the head, hands and feet). Instead, the statues of the artist Angela Tripi have completely formed bodies: they are modeled naked and then dressed with fabrics and small jewels. In her works the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted in a moment of their life, thus managing to make us understand the existence of a before and after. Angela Tripi manages to give each nativity statue an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: no two works will ever be the same, rending them one of a kind.
Suitable for a Nativity Scene with standing characters 18 cm tall.
