Provence Ox Figurine

Add a touch of authenticity to your Provencal nativity scene with this Provencal ox figurine, an essential character in the Nativity scene. Representing quiet strength and benevolent presence, the ox is one of two sacred animals traditionally placed alongside the Baby Jesus.

This clay ox figurine is entirely handmade in a workshop of artisan figurine makers located in Marseille, the heart of the Provencal figurine tradition. Each piece is modelled, fired and painted by hand, making it a unique object, faithful to the expertise of Provençal craftsmanship.

The ox in the nativity scene embodies patience, stability and the protective role it plays alongside the Baby Jesus, often lying down near the donkey. Its presence brings warmth and balance to the composition of your handmade Provencal nativity scene, while respecting the religious and cultural codes of Christmas in Provence.
