Camels were everywhere around the site of Jesus' birth because they were a main mode of transportation during that important time in history. On the night of His birth, the weary travelers on camelback came to visit the Newborn King. A standing camel is the perfect addition to your collection of Fontanini animals this Christmas season. Made of durable and quality resin, your standing camel is hand painted which allows for the artist to incorporate all the rich details that make the Fontanini Nativity collection one of the most treasured and renowned collectible items. As with all Fontanini items sold by St. Patrick's Guild, your standing camel will be sent to you in the signature Fontanini gift box.
