The Pastoral Caravan | Handmade Camel, Donkey & Farm Set
This peaceful and grounded collection brings together five handcrafted ceramic animals, each shaped and painted by hand in Uruguay. Representing the spirit of simplicity, endurance, and humility, this bundle reflects a quieter beauty, one rooted in agricultural life, desert travel, and pastoral symbolism.
Trimmed with gold, platinum, and colored enamel, the figures maintain their rustic charm without losing the refinement that defines the De Rosa Collections. These aren’t just animal sculptures. They’re living symbols of patience, care, and daily devotion.
1. Camel Figurine
Dimensions: 11×07×14.6 cm (4 3/8″×2 3/4″×5 1/2″) | Issue Year: 2018
The camel stands tall, eyes calm, posture alert. Its body is textured with soft fur-like ridges, while the saddle blanket is an intricate patchwork of brown, ivory, and plum enamel, bordered in raised gold trim. The saddle’s design hints at trade routes, ancient travel, and sacred burdens.
Camels carry stories. This figurine honors their role in ancient journeys across deserts, in nativity tales, and in cultures where endurance meant survival. The slightly arched neck, soft eyes, and forward stance suggest both gentleness and resolve.
2. Donkey Figurine
Dimensions: 09×05×08 cm (3 1/2″×1 7/8″×3 1/8″) | Issue Year: 2010
This donkey figurine blends quiet loyalty with artisan detail. The soft gray coat is carved in flowing vertical lines, mimicking real hair, and highlighted with pale silver-blue enamel. Its ears perk forward, and the face holds a subtle, almost shy expression - watchful, not weak.
In many traditions, donkeys symbolize humility, service, and steadiness. Unlike the horse, which gallops for glory, the donkey moves slowly and purposefully, bearing weight without complaint. This sculpture preserves that spirit - useful, kind, and overlooked until truly seen.
3. Sheep Figurine
Dimensions: 07×05×06 cm (2 3/4″×1 7/8″×2 3/8″) | Issue Year: 2010
This full-sized sheep is sculpted with rounded, floral wool, each curl carved into tight spirals across the body. Its face, ears, and hooves are smoothed and polished, finished with golden sheen. There’s a modest warmth to this piece, as if it belongs in a peaceful meadow under open sky.
In symbolism, the sheep often represents innocence, trust, and quiet belonging. Here, it appears not naïve, but content. At ease with the world. Grounded.
4. Mini Sheep Figurine
Dimensions: 04×04×04 cm (1 5/8″×1 5/8″×1 5/8″) | Issue Year: 2014
A smaller imitation of its companion, the mini sheep carries similar texture but with more compact proportions. Its wide-eyed face gives it a childlike quality, innocent without feeling exaggerated. Gold-tipped ears and hooves elevate its simplicity.
The mini size makes it ideal for placing beside other larger figures, subtly suggesting lineage or flock. It adds visual rhythm to the set, a reminder of gentle repetition in nature.
5. Mini Goat Figurine
Dimensions: 04×04×04 cm (1 5/8″×1 5/8″×1 5/8″) | Issue Year: 2018
This goat is carved with careful texture from horns to hooves. The fur flows in swirling ridges, giving it volume and motion. The curved horns, polished gold, crown its small head. Its hooves are short and square, giving the piece a solid stance.
Goats often symbolize vitality, mischief, or resourcefulness, depending on the culture. This figure feels more like an elder child: playful, sure-footed, but still close to home.
This bundle reads like a moment of stillness, a snapshot of simple, hard-won life. Together, these five figures represent a full pastoral scene. The camel brings the sense of journey and trade. The donkey brings labor and loyalty. The sheep and goat evoke quiet land, sun-warmed fields, and a rhythm of life that doesn’t need spectacle to be worthy.
There’s a rare kind of beauty in figures like these. They dazzle because they endure. And through their posture and expression, they testify to old truths: carry your weight. Stay close to the earth.
Be kind, even when no one’s watching...
