The “Shepherd with 3 Sheep” figurine group from Ulmik depicts a serene yet expressive scene, a must-have for any classic nativity scene. The shepherd kneels on the ground, wearing an elaborately crafted coat in warm brown and holding a simple shepherd’s crook. A broad black hat covers his head, giving him a striking silhouette. The vibrant and finely stained wood grain is particularly striking, emphasizing the figure’s natural character.
The three sheep accompanying the shepherd are each designed differently. Two animals are crafted in a light wood tone and stand out clearly with their smooth, minimalist form. Their calm posture and gently carved contours demonstrate attention to detail. The third sheep, painted in rich brown, stands next to its fellow sheep. It lowers its head and appears to be grazing, lending the scene additional dynamism and everyday relevance.
Each individual figurine was carefully crafted by hand, stained, and sealed with oil. This special surface treatment ensures that the figures are not only durable but also pleasant to the touch. At approximately 7 cm tall, the figures fit perfectly with the other Ulmik nativity figures and add a harmonious accent to the overall picture. The group can serve as a harmonious focal point on its own or as a complement to a larger landscape. Its natural color scheme and simple, traditional style create a peaceful, warm atmosphere.
This group of figures is particularly suitable for collectors and lovers of Erzgebirge craftsmanship. It combines traditional motifs with modern clarity and is a timeless highlight in any Christmas decoration.
