1950 Italian Neapolitan hand-made and painted terracotta nativity (creche) fisherman figurine statue.
This terracotta statue was made and painted by hand.. Neapolitan nativity scenes would have many such characters illustrating various arts and trades. This lovely character is a fisherman by trade, and bears a fishnet, a "lampara" (a lamp for catching fish at night time) and a basket, as an offering. His facial features, vestments and colors are very detailed and expressive. Signed on the bottom by artist. Appears to be "M. Giln"
