Seated Donkey – 5" Scale Nativity Figure

House of Fontanini | Item #54017

Bring warmth and authenticity to your Nativity display with the Fontanini 5" Scale Seated Donkey, a timeless figure that beautifully complements the Holy Family scene. Resting peacefully on a grassy base, this humble donkey reflects the quiet presence of the animals that surrounded the birth of Christ. With its calm expression and relaxed posture, the figure captures the gentle spirit of the Nativity and pairs naturally with the ox, shepherds, and stable setting.

Carefully handcrafted and hand-painted in Italy by Fontanini artisans, this heirloom-quality figurine showcases remarkable detail. Painted in realistic brown tones with darker accents on the hooves and face, the donkey’s textured coat and attentive expression highlight the artistry that has defined Fontanini for generations.

Made from durable polymer, this piece is designed to last for generations of Christmas celebrations. Whether you are expanding an existing display or beginning your Nativity tradition, the Seated Donkey is a classic companion piece that brings balance and realism to your scene.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, in the hills of Tuscany, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. What started as a small family shop has grown into a world-renowned tradition of crafting heirloom-quality Nativity sets and figurines. Each piece is meticulously sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans using techniques passed down through generations.

Today, that tradition continues at House of Fontanini, where we proudly carry on the legacy by offering Fontanini pieces directly to collectors and families across the country. For over 25 years, our locally owned small business has shared a passion for these beautiful Nativity creations. From our Minnesota warehouse, we live by our mission:

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

Add this peaceful animal to your display and continue the tradition. Shop Fontanini and discover timeless pieces in the Fontanini Outlet at HouseOfFontanini.com.
