Fontanini is one of the most well-known Italian companies specialising in the creation of lifelike nativity figures with an amazing attention to detail.
Hand-painted in the Fontanini workshops of northern Italy, this figure of the ox is part of the 50" nativity set designed to be used as a spectacular outdoor Christmas display.
Made from a marble and resin mix, it will withstand external conditions in all but the most extreme weather.
Like the donkey, the ox is created to lie at the foot of the stable and completes the original set of figures.
