$1,100.00

Simpich Nativity | Rare | Condition: Pristine

The Shepherd Drummer captures one of the most tender moments in the Nativity story—the offering of a simple gift, given with a full and humble heart.

With a gentle, youthful expression and softly worn shepherd’s attire, this figure reflects the innocence and sincerity at the center of the Christmas narrative. Cradled in his hands is a small drum, a quiet reference to the age-old story of a young boy offering the only gift he has. It is a moment of generosity, reverence, and childlike faith—beautifully translated into three-dimensional form by the Simpich workshop.

Every detail reveals the hallmark craftsmanship collectors have come to cherish. His hand-sculpted and hand-painted face carries warmth and subtle emotion, while the layered fabrics and natural textures echo the earth-toned palette of the Simpich Nativity. The drum itself is carefully formed and finished, serving as both a focal point and a symbolic element within the scene.

The Shepherd Drummer adds a sense of movement and narrative balance to the Nativity display, standing as a reminder that the most meaningful gifts are often the simplest. Whether placed near the manger or among the gathered shepherds, he brings a quiet, heartfelt presence to the story.

A timeless and expressive addition to the Simpich Nativity—one that celebrates innocence, generosity, and the spirit of the season through masterful Simpich artistry.
