Donkey - Nativity

$925.00

Condition: Pristine | Original Nativity Series | Christmas in July Feature

The Nativity Donkey is one of the most iconic and foundational figures in the Simpich Nativity Collection — one of the very first three pieces ever released by Jan and Bob Simpich.

This particular piece represents the third edition of the Donkey. While its design remains almost identical to the second edition, the key difference lies in the material: this version is noticeably heavier, a result of the casting process used during its later production. That subtle weight is the only true way to distinguish it from its predecessor. While this piece is still among the most fragile of all Simpich Character Dolls, it does have a little more durablity then its predecessors.

Despite its humble role in the stable, the Simpich Donkey is a treasured addition to any Nativity display — a perfect blend of early Simpich history and enduring craftsmanship.
