double bass player - 9 cm striped pans

In summer, every village in Provence celebrates its votive festival in honor of its patron saint. Dances on the square, games, pétanque contests: music rings out until the end of the night. Santon makers brought these musicians into the Nativity scene as a reminder that the birth of the Child is also a celebration that brings everyone together.

Our Double Bass Player in striped pants measures 9 cm, the most common size in family Nativity scenes. At this scale, the stripes on the pants, the double bass and the musician's face can be seen in perfect detail. He livens up a street corner, an evening with friends or the Romani camp, and can join the guitarist to form a band.

This santon is made in our Aix-en-Provence workshop, founded in 1934 by Jean-Baptiste Fouque. The original model was hand-sculpted; each piece is molded in clay, assembled, trimmed and smoothed by hand, slowly dried and then fired at 960 °C. The stripes are painted one by one with a fine brush.

You can discover it in our shop on cours Gambetta or at our exhibitions. It is individually wrapped in paper and then bubble wrap, and your order ships within 2 to 3 business days.
