Callum, the Sitting Shepherd (Father)

House of Fontanini — Item #54135 | Fontanini® 5" Collection

Introduce a peaceful and heartfelt moment to your Nativity village with Callum, the Sitting Shepherd (Father) from the renowned Fontanini® 5" Collection. This beautifully sculpted figure captures the quiet devotion of a shepherd watching over his flock, reflecting the humble and faithful role shepherds played on the night of Christ’s birth.

Callum is depicted seated upon a textured stone base, resting beside a gentle lamb while holding his shepherd’s staff. His relaxed posture and thoughtful expression convey a sense of calm vigilance and fatherly care. The figure’s warm earth-toned garments, accented with a silver-gray vest, add visual depth and authentic Old-World character to the scene.

A special design feature of this piece is its connective sculpted base, which allows Callum to be paired with Leo, the Boy Shepherd (sold separately). When displayed together, the two figures form a touching Father and Son shepherd scene, adding emotional warmth and storytelling depth to your Nativity display.

Meticulously crafted in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, this heirloom-quality piece is part of the long-standing Fontanini tradition that began in 1908 with Emanuele Fontanini in the hills of Tuscany. Each figure is sculpted, molded, and hand-painted by skilled artisans using durable, child-safe polymer to ensure generations of enjoyment.
