Animated Traditional Wheelwright - 30 cm

This animated 30 cm resin scene depicts a traditional wheelwright crafting a wooden cartwheel. 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 animation brings the scene to life as the craftsman raises and lowers a hammer with one arm while steadying the wheel with the other, causing it to rotate through alternating half turns clockwise and anti-clockwise, realistically recreating the process of building a cartwheel. The wooden workbench, unfinished wheel and storage crate complete the workshop setting, adding authenticity and character to the composition. Perfect for Nativity displays and traditional village scenes, this handcrafted piece combines realistic movement with meticulous attention to detail, celebrating one of the timeless rural crafts of the past.

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