Cow black and white called Marguerite

When you build a Nativity scene, you always end up wanting to enlarge the village: a farm, a meadow, a stream… and animals to live there. The cow is one of those that give the most presence to a scene. Our Marguerite, with her very local name, brings that rustic, familiar note that appeals to children and collectors alike.

This black and white version, in 9 cm, is the family size of our collection. The contrast of the coat highlights the modeling of the animal, and our painters take particular care with the boundary between the black and white areas. It pairs with the brown and white version to form a small herd.

Like all our santons, it is made in our Aix-en-Provence workshop from the model sculpted by hand by a member of the Fouque family: molding in clay, touch-ups, slow drying, firing at 960 °C and matte paint applied by hand. A sturdy terracotta, made to last.

Our shop on cours Gambetta displays the farm animals. For shipping, each piece is wrapped on its own, in paper and then bubble wrap; your order ships within 2 to 3 business days.
