Animated Traditional Child Petting a Dog for 25–30 cm Nativity Figures

This animated resin scene for 25–30 cm Nativity figures depicts a traditional child affectionately petting his dog, capturing a tender everyday moment typical of village life. The model was created by local artist Michela Nibaldi exclusively for LCR Presepi by Messi Leandro, while the movement has been personally created by Messi Leandro. The coordinated electric mechanism moves the child's right arm from left to right, realistically simulating the gentle gesture of stroking the dog. At the same time, the dog naturally turns its head away from the child before bringing it back to the forward position, as if responding to the affectionate touch. The synchronised movements create a lifelike and engaging scene. The child wears an olive-green shirt, a dark cloak and black-and-white checked trousers, while kneeling beside a realistic stone-effect resin wall. Completing the composition are a hen and a woven basket, adding further authenticity to this charming rural setting. Rich in handcrafted detail and coordinated movement, this animated scene is ideal for enriching Nativity displays with warmth, realism and the timeless charm of everyday village life.

Note: This is a handcrafted item. Minor variations in colour and details may occur, making each piece unique and distinctive.
