A treasure of faith encased in transparent glass. This fascinating sculpture captures the sacred moment of the Nativity with unique composure and grace. The scene, protected by a clear and colorless glass dome, invites contemplation and intimacy with the Mystery.
Mary and Joseph are depicted with expressions of profound serenity and devotion, leaning over the Infant Jesus, wrapped in cream-colored swaddling clothes. Attention is focused on the symbolic light of the lantern held by Joseph, a metallic detail that adds realism and depth to the composition. The figures are characterized by fluid drapery and muted tones—terracotta red for Mary and earthy brown for Joseph—giving the work a rustic and ancient aesthetic, showcasing the sculptural technique.
Each piece is entirely hand-carved, following the age-old tradition of Val Gardena. For this 20 cm size, the sculpture is made from precious maple wood, known for its fine grain and ability to retain minute and precise details. It is available in the Classica Colorata version, with opaque and spiritual finishes, or in the Legno Naturale version, which enhances the intrinsic beauty of the wood grain.
