Description

A masterpiece that celebrates the fusion of Alpine nature and the sacred art of Val Gardena. This Bark Log Lantern transforms a simple natural element into a precious shrine of faith.

Its external structure, left unfinished with natural and rough bark, offers a tactile and visual contrast with the delicacy of the internal carvings. Through the circular openings, similar to windows onto an enchanted world, two openwork scenes are revealed.

On the left, the eternal sweetness of the Nativity: Mary and Joseph in devout contemplation of the Baby Jesus, flanked by the ox and the donkey. On the right, a suggestive motif of stylized fir trees and shapes that recall the magic of the Alpine winter and the Alpine landscape.

The internal sculptures are crafted with master artistry. Given the 13 cm size, the carving of the panels is sculpted in precious maple wood, known for its fine grain and ability to capture every tiny detail of the openwork design. A sacred furnishing object that brings the warmth of Dolfi tradition into every home.

Detail & Meaning
The design of the lantern, using a hollow log, recalls the symbolism of the tree of life and the light radiating from its interior, a metaphor for the birth of Christ illuminating the world. The Nativity scene is depicted with profound reverence: Mary and Joseph bow in a gesture of pure tenderness and devotion towards the Child. The inclusion of the ox (symbol of obedience and labor) and the donkey (which carried Mary) emphasizes the humility of the birthplace, celebrating the Holy Family as the archetype of love and simple faith.
Story
The craftsmanship of Val Gardena boasts a centuries-old tradition in carving religious subjects, passed down from generation to generation. This lantern combines the ancient sculptural art with the Alpine tradition of enhancing local raw materials, such as tree bark, in a decorative way. Historically, lanterns and candles have always been used during the Christmas period to symbolize the anticipation of Light (Jesus) and to ideally guide the Magi and the faithful towards the grotto, uniting the natural and rustic element with the deepest spirituality.
