Farmer with Three Chickens – Oliver, 8 cm

Farmer with Three Chickens – Oliver, 8 cm. This Nativity figure depicts a chicken farmer, a typical character of the rural Nativity tradition, symbolizing the care of farmyard animals and the simplicity of everyday work. The figure stands upright, wearing a green tunic tied at the waist, with light blue trousers tucked into sturdy boots. With one hand, he holds a basket filled with feed, while with the other he scatters grain to nourish the three chickens gathered at his feet. His youthful face and focused expression suggest a familiar gesture, part of the daily routine of those who live in close connection with the land. The chickens, carefully detailed with lively plumage, complete the scene, adding movement and realism. Within the Nativity scene, this figure represents care, attention, and dedication to daily life—values that blend naturally with the spirituality of Christmas, celebrating the presence of God even in the simplest gestures.
