Willow Tree Little Shepherdess nativity figurine 3-piece set — 5in hand-painted resin, blue-gray with gold crown

Willow Tree Little Shepherdess is a 5-inch hand-painted resin figurine with two sheep, part of a sculpted nativity collection designed for display or gifting.

This three-piece set from Willow Tree features the Little Shepherdess sculpted by artist Susan Lordi and finished by hand to complement an existing nativity grouping or to stand alone as a small, meaningful accent. The series, introduced in 2000, is known for its pared-down forms and expressive gestures; this piece includes an enclosure card reading “Behold, a little love on earth” and ships in a fitted box ready to gift.

What materials and craftsmanship went into this Little Shepherdess?
