Seiffener Volkskunst Schalling Nativity Scene – Shepherd with Sheep, Set of 4

This Shepherd with Sheep Set adds warmth and gentle charm to your modern Nativity Scene. The shepherd stands with crook in hand and a beautifully detailed beard formed from curled wood shavings—a hallmark of Erzgebirge craftsmanship. At his feet, two sheep and a ram rest peacefully. Each of the four pieces is freestanding and separate, allowing you to arrange them as you like within your Nativity display.

A Nativity Scene brings the Christmas story to life through handcrafted figures that invite quiet reflection and tradition into your home. Displayed on a tabletop, mantel, or seasonal shelf, this small-scale set blends naturally into modern or classic holiday décor. While each subset is sold separately, many collectors choose to bring home the full set all at once, as availability may vary from year to year. See the complete Nativity Scene collection here ›
