Nativity Collection | Designed by Jan Simpich | Limited Production | Heirloom Condition
Quiet, reverent, and deeply human, The Woman at the Well is one of the most contemplative figures in the Simpich Nativity Collection. Designed by Jan Simpich, this piece captures a moment of everyday devotion—an ordinary task rendered extraordinary through compassion, humility, and grace.
Clad in softly textured earth-toned garments, the figure is defined by her gentle posture and understated elegance. A gauze-like veil drapes naturally over her shoulders, framing a serene, introspective expression that feels both timeless and intimate. Cradled in her arm is a simple water vessel, a powerful symbol of sustenance, service, and life itself—central themes woven throughout Jan’s Nativity designs.
What makes The Woman at the Well especially compelling is its quiet realism. Rather than depicting a grand or celestial presence, Jan chose to honor the sacredness found in daily life. The careful sculpting of the hands, the subtle movement suggested in her stance, and the warm, hand-painted tones of her face all reflect the thoughtful restraint that defined Jan’s later work.
This piece was produced in limited numbers and is increasingly difficult to find, particularly in this level of preservation. Offered here in Heirloom Condition, it has been carefully maintained and remains a beautiful example of the craftsmanship and reverence that defined the Simpich workshop.
A meaningful addition to any Nativity display, The Woman at the Well brings depth, humanity, and quiet storytelling—reminding us that the heart of the Nativity is found not only in angels and kings, but in the lives of ordinary people touched by something extraordinary.

Final Nativity Figure | Ultra Rare
Condition: Pristine
The Shepherd with Staff stands as the final figure ever added to the Simpich Nativity—and one of the most meaningful designs Robert Simpich created in the closing year of the Doll Shop.
Introduced during the final year of Simpich Character Doll production, this piece was manufactured in extremely limited numbers, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after figures in the entire Simpich catalog. Few examples were completed before operations ceased, and even fewer remain in pristine condition today.
Clad in richly textured, hand-selected fabrics, the Shepherd’s garments carry the quiet earth tones and natural materials that define the Simpich Nativity aesthetic. His hand-carved wooden staff, individually shaped and finished, is both a visual anchor and a symbol of watchfulness and devotion. As with all true Simpich pieces, no two staffs—or figures—are exactly alike.
The Shepherd’s expression is where the artistry truly shines. His face, hand-sculpted and hand-painted by Robert Simpich, conveys humility, warmth, and reverence—capturing the quiet moment of awe central to the Nativity story. Subtle detailing in the eyes, beard, and hands reflects decades of refinement in Simpich character design.
As the final figure added to the Simpich Nativity, the Shepherd with Staff holds a special place not only within the scene itself, but within Simpich history. It represents the culmination of years of artistic tradition and storytelling, completed just before the close of an era.
This is not simply a Nativity figure—it is a true legacy piece, treasured by collectors for its rarity, craftsmanship, and significance in the Simpich story.
A centerpiece addition for advanced collectors and one of the most elusive Simpich Nativity figures ever produced.
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.
From the Simpich Collection | Very Rare
“The shepherds were watching their flocks by night…”
From that timeless verse came one of Robert Simpich’s most poetic creations — The Light Bearer. Designed as part of the Simpich Nativity Collection, this figure captures the quiet wonder of the moment the shepherds first received the news of Christ’s birth.
Holding a lantern that glows softly against the folds of his robe, The Light Bearer stands as a symbol of guidance and faith — the humble messenger who carries light into darkness. Robert spent many long hours exploring how to express that single instant of divine realization: the upward gaze, the gentle lift of the arm, the face illuminated by both earthly and heavenly light.
Every detail — from the carefully woven fabric of his robe to the lifelike expression filled with awe — reflects the depth of Robert and Jan Simpich’s devotion to craftsmanship and meaning. The muted earth tones and natural materials mirror the simplicity of the Nativity itself, while the lantern draws the viewer’s focus to the enduring theme of hope shining through night.
The Light Bearer is among the rarest of the entire Simpich Nativiy scene, being introduced in the early 2000s and seeing only a few years of production only a few thousand were produced.
Among the many figures of the Simpich Nativity, The Light Bearer remains a collector favorite — a perfect embodiment of the Simpich tradition of blending art, faith, and storytelling.
A piece both serene and powerful, it continues to remind us that even in the stillness of the night, the light of Christmas is always near.

The Animals
"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn" (Luke 2:7)
From the Simpich Collection

Condition: Pristine | Original Nativity Series
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.

The Nativity Cow | Designed by Ragan Simpich | From the Simpich Nativity Collection
Luke 2:7 — “And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
This passage, among the most beloved in Scripture, has inspired countless Nativity scenes through the centuries. It reminds us of the astonishing humility of that first Christmas — that the Savior of the world was laid not in a cradle, but in a feeding trough. One can almost imagine the quiet rustle of hay, the steady breath of nearby animals, and the tender stillness that filled the stable that night.
As the Simpich Nativity Collection neared completion, Robert and Janice Simpich realized one essential presence was still missing — a true resident of the stable itself. The sheep had come with the shepherds, the camel with the kings, and the donkey had carried Mary to Bethlehem. To complete the story, they invited Ragan Simpich to create the Nativity Cow, a gentle figure representing the calm warmth of the manger.
Depicted lying peacefully, this beautifully hand-crafted cow embodies quiet devotion and the simplicity of creation surrounding the Holy Family. Her expression conveys both rest and reverence, grounding the entire Nativity in the humble reality of the barn where heaven first touched earth.

Among the rarest and most sought-after figures in the Simpich Nativity, the Tree Top Angel stands as a masterpiece of both design and devotion. Created and signed by Jan Simpich, this radiant figure was produced in extremely limited numbers — fewer than one thousand — making it one of the rarest Simpich Character Dolls ever crafted.
The Tree Top Angel was envisioned by Jan as the crowning presence over the Nativity Scene, a symbol of light and peace rendered with her signature blend of elegance and realism. Her flowing ivory gown, ethereal blue ribbon, and delicately sculpted wings reflect Jan’s artistic sensibility at its most refined — a design she regarded as one of her personal favorites.

Graceful and luminous, this Nativity Angel represents one of the most refined expressions of Janice Simpich’s artistic vision. Designed by Jan herself and double signed by both Robert and Janice Simpich, this piece carries exceptional significance—standing as a rare collaboration between the founders of the Simpich legacy.
Dressed in flowing ivory and soft gold-toned fabrics, the angel’s form feels weightless, as if caught mid-descent. Her sculpted wings arc gently behind her, framing a serene, contemplative expression that radiates calm and reassurance. The delicate layering of fabric, cinched with a twisted cord at the waist, reflects Jan’s mastery of movement and balance—creating a figure that feels alive with quiet purpose.
