Shepherd with Staff (Nativity Piece) - HUM 2230/D HSC 69139093

The Nativity Scene - a Christian Christmas symbol.

A lifetime of faith is found in the quiet moments of wonder. Bring the timeless narrative of the first Christmas to life with the Shepherd with Staff (HUM 2230/D). As a key figure in the M.I. Hummel Nativity, this shepherd represents the humble witnesses who first heard the angel's song in the fields of Bethlehem. Standing in quiet reverence with his staff in hand, he adds a sense of watchful peace and spiritual authenticity to your holiday display.

This piece is a celebration of sacred history and artistic tradition. Designed as an essential building block for the 17-piece Nativity Scene, this figurine is meticulously hand-painted in Rödental, Germany. Every detail—from the gentle drape of his traditional garments to his expression of awe—is crafted to turn your holiday mantle into a storied heirloom. Whether you are continuing a family legacy or starting a new tradition, this shepherd is a beautiful reminder of the miracle that lies at the heart of the season.

To create an immersive and meaningful Nativity display, pair the Shepherd with Staff with these fellow witnesses:

• Shepherd with Milk Jug (HUM 2230/E): Combine the two shepherds to create a realistic scene of the humble caretakers of the field arriving at the manger.

• Gaspar (HUM 2230/J): Showcase the meeting of shepherds and kings by adding the Wise Men to your spiritual journey.

• Christmas Angel (HUM 301 2/0): Complete the biblical story by placing an angel nearby to represent the celestial herald who called the shepherds to the stable.
