Animated Palestinian Woodcutter with Hand Saw in Tree - 30 cm

This animated 30 cm resin scene depicts a Palestinian woodcutter pruning the branches of a leafless tree. 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. Perched securely among the branches, the woodcutter operates a hand saw with a smooth, realistic motion. His arm moves backwards and forwards, extending as it pushes the saw and bending as it draws it back, faithfully recreating the action of cutting through the wood. He wears traditional Palestinian clothing consisting of a long grey tunic, a brown cloak and a green headscarf wrapped around part of his head, leaving his beard visible. Loose-fitting trousers and leather sandals complete his attire, reflecting the appearance of rural life in the region while providing secure footing on the branches. The leafless tree, with its twisted branches, creates a strikingly realistic setting, while the base is enriched with natural details that enhance the authenticity of the scene. Perfect for Nativity displays and rural dioramas, this handcrafted composition combines realistic movement with meticulous attention to detail, bringing the timeless work of the countryside to life.
