Description

This sculpture captures the majesty and silent toil of the Dromedary, an essential travel companion in the Holy Nativity. The animal is depicted in a static and dignified pose, with its head slightly raised and turned, expressing a serene calm after the long journey through the desert.

Every detail is the result of the sculptural excellence of Val Gardena. Observe the extraordinary rendering of the surface: the light brown, sand-colored tones blend with dark brown, recreating a relief texture that faithfully simulates the coarse hair on the hump and neck. The earthy shades give depth and realism to this desert traveler, with its mouth slightly ajar allowing a glimpse of the details of its lips and teeth.

Made entirely of maple wood, prized for its fineness and compactness, the sculpture is available in colored (C) or natural (N) finishes. The colored version is hand-painted with natural pigments that enhance the realism of the earth and sand colors, ensuring a unique piece of craftsmanship that enriches any traditional Nativity scene.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Camel.
2) Religious meaning: The camel is a traditional element of the Nativity scene, a symbol of the journey of the Magi to Bethlehem and their worship of the Baby Jesus. It represents guidance and perseverance on the path of faith.
Story
The camel, although not a saint, is an iconic and revered element in the tradition of the Nativity scene, a symbol of the journey of the Three Wise Men to Bethlehem. Its presence evokes the Gospel narrative of the Epiphany, which celebrates the manifestation of Jesus to the world. The camel represents the hardship of the journey, the devotion and the homage of distant peoples to the Divine Child, bringing precious gifts. Its figure is imbued with a profound spiritual meaning, recalling the universality of the Christian message and the adoration of Christ by all peoples.
