Animated Palestinian Woman Chasing a Mouse - 30 cm

This animated 30 cm resin scene depicts a traditional Palestinian woman attempting to catch a mouse with a large straw broom. 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. Dressed in traditional Palestinian clothing, including a long beige tunic with wide sleeves, a brown waistcoat and an ivory head covering that drapes over her shoulders and down her back, the woman moves her arms up and down as she tries to catch the small intruder. Her determined expression and forward-leaning posture faithfully recreate the effort of chasing the elusive mouse. Meanwhile, the mouse repeatedly darts in and out of a flour sack beside a wooden crate, skilfully avoiding the broom and bringing a lively sense of movement to the composition. Scattered flour on the ground, together with wicker baskets, jute sacks and a realistically textured soil-and-stone base, enhances the authenticity of the rural setting. Rich in handcrafted detail and coordinated movement, this animated scene is ideal for Nativity displays and historical dioramas, capturing a lively everyday moment from traditional Palestinian village life.
