This figure of a lying shepherd boy is an enchanting work of art, created by master craftsmen from Trentino Alto Adige. The figure depicts a shepherd boy lying comfortably, with an Arabian-style veil on his head. In his right arm he is holding a capricious little goat who is neither willing to drink nor eat the food the shepherd boy is offering her in his left hand. The figure has been hand-carved with great care and skill, using high quality maple wood, hand-painted with oil paints to create a realistic and natural effect. The figure is perfect for creating an atmosphere of authenticity and spirituality in the nativity scene, and goes perfectly with other maple wood carved nativity figures. This lying shepherd crib figure is a unique and valuable work of art, created with great passion and skill by DOLFI master craftsmen from Val Gardena.
