Seated Donkey – Item 52933 – Fontanini® 12" Collection

House of Fontanini | Part #52933

The Seated Donkey (Item 52933) from the revered Fontanini® 12" Collection is a meaningful and traditional addition to your Nativity display. Long associated with the Holy Family and the journey to Bethlehem, the donkey symbolizes humility, service, and quiet strength—virtues woven deeply into the Nativity story.

Beautifully sculpted and hand-painted in Italy, this 12" scale figure captures the gentle spirit of the resting donkey. From the carefully textured coat to the lifelike shaping of the ears and posture, every detail reflects the calm and steady presence this faithful companion brings to the manger scene. Seated in a natural resting position, the donkey adds warmth, realism, and historical authenticity to your 12" Fontanini Nativity village.

Crafted from durable polymer, this heirloom-quality piece is designed to be cherished for generations. The Fontanini tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, when Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. Today, skilled artisans continue that legacy through meticulous sculpting and hand-painting in a time-honored, family-guided process.

At HouseofFontanini.com, we are proud to carry on this Italian tradition. For over 25 years, our Minnesota-based small business has been dedicated to sharing these beloved Nativity figures with collectors and families across the country. As we like to say from our warehouse here in Minnesota:

“Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
