A representation of sublime serenity and purity, this reclining Infant Jesus captures the essence of the Nativity with unparalleled grace. The sculpture depicts the Newborn in a resting pose, gently raised from his crib which resembles a bed of straw, rendered with a tangible and warm texture in shades of ochre and golden brown. The little Infant Jesus has a serene face, eyes open in a gesture of awakening, and arms raised in a universal gesture of welcome, inviting contemplation.
The calm expression, chubby cheeks, and brown curls are rendered with meticulous painting, enhancing the softness of the skin. A striking detail is the halo behind the head: a stylized, gleaming, and radiant fan, covered in gold leaf to symbolize the divine light just manifested.
Each piece is a masterpiece of Val Gardena craftsmanship. Available in sizes from 6 cm to 28 cm, they are entirely made of precious maple wood, skillfully carved by our sculptors. Choose the finish that best suits your nativity scene: the "Colored" (C) version to enhance the pictorial details, the "Natural" (N) finish to appreciate the wood grain, or the "Three Shades of Brown" (3G) option for an antique and deep effect.
