* The Dual Technique: Anton Neu is uniquely recognized both for his physical wood sculpting and his skills as a Fassmaler. This means he specializes in the complex, historic art of applying spectacular, detailed paintwork, gilding, and coloring to religious and cultural figurines after they are carved.

* Subject Matter: His work primarily focuses on high-quality religious figurines, nativity crib figures (manger sets), and custom-made traditional Bavarian pieces.

Because Oberammergau carvers highly value individual craftsmanship over mass production, figures worked on by modern masters like Anton Neu are highly detailed, featuring lifelike expressions and precise fabric folds. [
