"Shepherd Boy" (Sergio) ANRI Juan Ferrandiz Wood Carving Nativity Figurine - Rare M/2250 Factory Master Sample (7")

An Extraordinary South Tyrolean Studio Benchmark

Bring a museum-caliber piece of Italian woodcarving history and heartwarming pastoral charm to your collection with this exceptionally rare ANRI hand-carved wooden figurine, "Shepherd Boy" (Sergio), designed by beloved Spanish artist and poet Juan Ferrandiz! Standing approximately 7" tall, this tender sculpture captures a smiling young shepherd boy gently cradling two baby lambs—one tucked securely under each arm—as the lamb on his left gazes affectionately up into his eyes. 🐑👦🏼🪵🇮🇹✨

Rare "M/2250" Factory Master Sample (Muster) Provenance: While the standard Limited Edition of this 7-inch sculpture was numbered sequentially from 1 to 2,250, the underside of this piece is deeply impressed with the scarce factory designation M/2250 alongside the inset silver-toned © ANRI ITALY medallion. In ANRI’s South Tyrolean studio in St. Christina, the "M" stands for Muster (German for Master Sample or Showroom Model)—an ultra-exclusive pre-production group hand-painted by the studio's senior master artisans to serve as the visual benchmark for the guild painters and for exhibition at flagship international trade shows!

Exquisite Craftsmanship & Quality: Carved from seasoned Alpine maple wood, this piece showcases the remarkable warmth of the natural Anri wood grain shining through translucent, hand-applied oil washes. Every brushstroke is a testament to senior guild artistry—from the soft muted olive-green plaid cap topped with a cheerful orange pom-pom and checkered visor, to his terracotta-red neckerchief, warm ochre shirt, slate-blue cross-strap overalls, and the finely textured ivory wool of the two lambs. Incised with the FERRANDIZ signature along the back of the wooden base, it is in EXCELLENT condition with absolutely no chips, cracks, or repairs. ✨ Display this extraordinary archive treasure on a sunlit rustic wooden mantel, inside a lighted glass curio cabinet, or as the crowning focal point of a cherished Christmas nativity crèche display!
