Camel with yellow blanket

Tradition gave the Wise Men names: Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar. It also gave them mounts, camels and dromedaries able to cross the desert. In the Provençal Nativity scene, the royal procession is often the most colorful part of the display, with its rich costumes and its animals from faraway lands.

Our yellow standing camel measures 9 cm, the most popular size for family Nativity scenes. It can carry the story of one of the three kings and stand behind him on a path of sand or stone. With the blue and red versions, it creates a varied procession.

Our collection is the fruit of a family story that began in 1934. Mireille Fouque, who ran the workshop from 1987, made our santons known as far away as New York, Geneva, Rome and Tokyo. Yet the methods have remained artisanal: molding the clay, slow drying, gradual firing and painting by hand.

You can see this model in our shop-workshop in Aix-en-Provence or at our exhibitions. It is wrapped on its own, in paper and then bubble wrap, and your order ships within 2 to 3 business days.
