This Dolfi ornament is a perfect fusion between the ancient sculptural art of Val Gardena and a contemporary design of refined essentiality. The sculpture, depicting an owl in a frontal and symmetrical pose, is crafted with the utmost care and attention, highlighting the mastery of Alpine carvers.
The subject is carved in maple wood, a material chosen for sculptures smaller than 56 cm and renowned for its fine grain and exceptional hardness. The finish, smooth and slightly polished, enhances the warm and natural tone of the wood, maintaining its alpine character intact. The most valuable element and visual appeal are the eyes: two large circular elements made of faceted and transparent crystal. These details, which capture and reflect light with silvery glimmers, give the ornament a vigilant and attentive appearance, transforming it into a precious light point ideal for hanging. The simplicity of the forms and the elegance of the materials make this owl a masterpiece of artisanal essentiality.
