Realization Technique 

Head, hands and feet are made of clay, with the help of small wooden sticks to shape the material.

After a natural drying process, it is baked at 980 ° C.

After baking the clay becomes terracotta and the glass eyes are applied.

Then we continue with the coloring: many shades of colors to give delicate and realistic tones to the figures. After that to the coating.

The various components are applied to a mannequin made of iron wire covered with hemp tow that allows the movement of the limbs.

Finally the assembled shepherd is ready to be dressed; everything is hand-sewn, the clothes are made “to measure” by applying trimmings,
embroidery and lace to add more details to the pastor.
