Shepherds Set – 3 Pieces, Oliver, 5 cm Series

Shepherds Set – Three Pieces, Oliver, 5 cm Series. This set portrays three small figures rooted in the tradition of the popular Nativity scene, each representing a trade or a moment of everyday village life. On the left stands a wood carrier, an elderly man with a gray beard, dressed in a light-colored tunic and sturdy boots. He carries a bundle of firewood tied with ropes on his shoulders, symbolizing hard work in the forests and the simple, industrious life of mountain communities. At the center is a fisherman, seated on a rock, wearing a straw hat and holding a fishing rod. He is dressed in a blue vest over a shirt with green trousers, and a fish can be seen at his feet, a clear sign of his trade and his close connection with water and nature. On the right, a housewife dressed in green lifts her white apron, which holds feed for her chickens. At her feet stands a hen, evoking domestic activity and care for the farmyard. Her calm and attentive posture reflects the central role of women in managing the household and rural life. Together, these figures enrich the Nativity scene with realism and warmth, evoking the lively, hardworking atmosphere of a small village at the time of the birth of Jesus.
