Collection of ten French Santons de Provence figurines by santonnier Paul Fouque. Hand painted over clay / terra cotta. Bright, colorful, and very whimsical with each character donning traditional French clothing and accessories.
Santons (Provençal: "santoun," or "little saint") are small hand-painted terracotta nativity scene figurines produced in the Provence region of southeastern France. In a traditional Provençal crèche, there are 55 individual figures representing various characters from Provençal village life such as the scissors grinder, the fishwife, the blind man, and the chestnut seller. The first clay Santons were created by Marseillais artisan Lagnel (1761-1822) during the French Revolution when churches were forcibly closed and their large nativity scenes prohibited. - Wikipedia
