For sale is a rare vintage 1991 Castagna Native American Tepee (Tipi) , meaning dwelling figurine from the Italian Wild West / Native American series. Made in Italy of hand-painted reconstituted alabaster/resin (typical for Castagna pieces), this detailed 2-piece set features a removable tipi top that lifts off to reveal the intricately sculpted base.
Key Features:
• Signature: Clearly marked “©1991 CASTAGNA” on the base.
• Design: The tipi has raised/embossed details including a sun symbol, bird, and Native motifs. The base depicts a scenic campfire/diorama with logs, rocks, a small structure, and vibrant painted accents (yellow sun, red fire, etc.). There’s a hole in the tipi for incense smoke to escape—perfect as a functional burner or decorative display.
• Size: Approximately 8” tall assembled; base ~6” across
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs noted. Colors remain vibrant; minor wear consistent with age (please review photos closely). No original box.
Castagna pieces are sought-after collectibles—hand-finished, no longer in production, and increasingly scarce, especially this teepee design. Great for Southwestern, Western, or Native American-themed decor, collectors of Castagna figurines, or as a unique incense holder.
