A Unique Vintage Santon that came from a church In Provence. These terracotta figurines are popular in France at Christmas as these villagers accompany the nativity. At the bottom of the Christmas tree, French families started to assemble all the villagers to wait for the Holy Child to be born. She is 11 inches in height and has the name of the artisan who made her Scaturro ant the base of the clay platform she stands on. In many Provençal families, santons are a tradition that is still very much alive. “Santoun” means “little saint” in Provençal.
