SizesTo determine which collection your santons belong to, you need to refer to a simple santon (with no load or accessory on the head) representing an adult in the STANDING position.
If the standing adult santon measures around 9 cm, it belongs to the 9 cm santon collection. The children in this same collection will be smaller, but still in proportion to the adult santons in the same collection. The same applies to seated figures and animals, which will be much lower, just as in the real world, but on a smaller scale!
So, if your shepherd is 9 cm tall, choose sheep, a dog or a ram from the 9 cm collection, and the santon-maker will manage the proportions for you in the collection!
NOTE: You can change your collection if you want to create perspectives and your crib reaches a certain size. In this case, you can choose smaller santons from the lower 6 or 4 cm collections, and position them in the background to create the idea of distance by giving depth or height to your crib!
Below is a photo giving you an overview of the different santon sizes currently available.
To allow you to compare the height of the santons according to their position here is a photo of different models of santons (all 6 cm):
