This handmade terracotta Santon from Marseille depicts a brown cow lying down, embodying the gentle and rustic charm of Provenal craftsmanship. With a natural, hand-painted finish, this figure brings warmth and authenticity to any nativity scene. There are 27 of these Santons available, allowing for individual purchase or as part of a complete collection.

Santons, or little saints, hold a special place in the Christmas traditions of Provence. Created during the French Revolution to bring the nativity story into homes when church displays were restricted, these figures have become cherished symbols of local culture. Each Santon represents an aspect of rural life in Provence, from animals like this serene cow to villagers and artisans. This lying cow adds a tranquil, pastoral presence to any crche, embodying both the heritage and spirit of traditional French nativity scenes.
This piece is also available to purchase as part of a set here.
