This sculpture of King Gaspar Magio embodies the essence of faith through contemporary art. Its essential, soft, and rounded forms distill the figure into a pure expression of humility and contemplation, eliminating all physiognomic details to emphasize the devotional gesture.
The coloring, crafted with artisan mastery, offers a warm palette of yellow-ocher and deep brown, giving the figure an earthy and weathered appearance. In stark contrast, the headdress and the precious casket held in his hands are finished in elegant matte silver, recalling the royalty of the gift. Gold leaf accents add highlights along the neck and garments, testifying to the spiritual richness of the subject.
Drawing on the sculptural tradition of Val Gardena, each piece is carved with care. For all available size variants (from 8 cm up to 16 cm), the work is made from precious maple wood, known for its fine grain and its ability to accommodate both colored and natural finishes (such as variants C, N, or 3G).
