Bring warmth and storytelling to your nativity scene with this beautifully detailed trio of vintage Fontanini musicians. Crafted in Italy and signed by sculptor E. Simonelli, these figures feature expressive poses, rich hand-painted colors, and the charming realism Fontanini is known for.
This set includes:
• David (144) – Depose Italy 1987 – approx. 4.75"
A young shepherd boy playing panpipes, wrapped in a textured cloak with soft earth-tone hues.
• Eli (143) – Depose Italy 1987 – approx. 5"
A gentle musician holding double pipes, dressed in layered garments with subtle shading and detail.
• Little Drummer Boy (437) – Depose Italy 1989 – approx. 5"
A beloved figure holding his drumsticks, captured mid-stride with a lantern at his feet and beautifully sculpted clothing.
Each figure is crafted from Fontanini’s durable hand-painted polymer resin and matches the classic 5-inch scale. These pieces display wonderfully with 1980s Fontanini nativity sets or make a standout addition for collectors seeking rarer musician figures.
All marked Depose Italy and dated and signed E. Simonelli
