Antique German Putz Sheep Set Erzgebirge Nativity Figures c1920 A charming set of three antique German Putz sheep, dating to the early 20th century and typical of Erzgebirge nativity and Christmas display traditions. These miniature figures feature composition or papier-mâché heads with hand-painted facial details, including expressive eyes and red accents, giving each sheep a distinct personality. The bodies are covered in textured wool to simulate fleece, with slender wooden legs and simple handmade construction. Each sheep retains its green ribbon collar, a lovely period detail that adds consistency and decorative appeal across the set. Putz figures were traditionally used in nativity scenes and winter village displays, and these examples capture that nostalgic charm beautifully. Today they are highly sought after by collectors of early Christmas decorations, Erzgebirge figures, and stylists looking for authentic seasonal or rustic display pieces. Offered as a set of three, they create a strong visual grouping and are far more desirable together than individually. ConditionGood antique condition with age-related wear. Minor paint wear and marks to faces. Some thinning and light wear to the wool covering. Legs are intact and stable. All three display very well with consistent age and patina. DimensionsH: 7.5 cm x L: 6.5 cm x W: 2 cm (approx each) EraEarly 20th century, circa 1920s–1930s
