Terracotta nativity sculptures depicting the neck and head of an ox.
The sculpture is made of terracotta entirely by hand, finished in stick and color. In the nativity scene, the ox is ideally placed to the right of the child. Remarkable executive quality and attention to detail. The sculpture was applied through the holes to supports which were then hidden by other elements of the nativity scene.
Naples, Italy, second half of the 19th century.
