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
Il design della lanterna, utilizzando un tronco cavo, richiama la simbologia dell'albero della vita e la luce che si irradia dal suo interno, metafora della nascita di Cristo che illumina il mondo. La scena della Natività è rappresentata con profonda riverenza: Maria e Giuseppe si chinano in un gesto di pura tenerezza e devozione verso il Bambino. L'inclusione del bue (simbolo di obbedienza e lavoro) e dell'asino (che trasportò Maria) sottolinea l'umiltà del luogo della nascita, celebrando la Sacra Famiglia come l'archetipo dell'amore e della fede semplice.
Story
L'artigianato della Val Gardena vanta una tradizione secolare nell'intaglio di soggetti religiosi, tramandata di generazione in generazione. Questa lanterna unisce l'antica arte scultorea con la tradizione alpina di valorizzare le materie prime locali, come la corteccia d'albero, in chiave decorativa. Storicamente, le lanterne e i lumini sono sempre stati utilizzati durante il periodo natalizio per simboleggiare l'attesa della Luce (Gesù) e per guidare idealmente i Magi e i fedeli verso la grotta, unendo l'elemento naturale e rustico alla spiritualità più profonda.
