The figure of the kneeling King Gaspar is a masterpiece of woodcarving that instills a sense of profound devotion and contemplation in your Nativity scene.
Crafted entirely from Maple Wood, as per the artisanal tradition of Val Gardena for sculptures of this size (10 cm), this statue captures the solemn moment of offering.
🎭 Unique Playful Feature: All Aurora Nativity characters have interchangeable magnetic heads! Children can enjoy swapping heads between different characters, creating ever-new combinations and stimulating creativity and play.
Observe the rich chromatic variation: the robes are hand-painted with intense shades of red-orange and Siena earth, which contrast beautifully with the beige of the cloak. The expression of the face, with closed eyes and slightly parted lips, suggests humility and wonder before the Child. The details are meticulous, from the carefully carved curls to the precious, golden object, symbolizing his gift, held between clasped hands.
Every fold of the garment is sculpted to give volume and movement, testifying to the mastery of the Dolfi sculptors, who keep alive the legacy of sacred Alpine craftsmanship.
