Begin your nativity scene composition with a symbol of joy and divine announcement. The Heavenly Gloria Angel by Dolfi captures the solemnity and lightness of the message brought to the shepherds, integrating perfectly into any Nativity scenario.
This sculpture is crafted with the mastery that distinguishes Val Gardena artistry. Available in sizes between 6 cm and 15 cm, the figure is carved from precious maple wood. This material, known for its fine and homogeneous grain, allows our sculptors to achieve incredible precision in details, from the drapes of the robes to the definition of individual feathers.
The angel presents itself in a serene and contemplative pose, its head slightly bowed in a sign of humility. The drapes of the robe, painted in an ethereal dusty blue-grey, fall softly, conveying volume and realism. The focal point of the sculpture are the wide, golden and shimmering wings, whose metallic finish recreates the effect of gold leaf. This element of light contrasts beautifully with the matte finish of the robe.
In its clasped hands, the angel holds the scroll bearing the partial inscription "IN EXC LSIS DEO" (Glory to God in the highest), the core of its announcement. Precious details such as the three small eight-pointed stars and the golden cross on the collar enhance the iconographic richness of this masterpiece of light and artisanal devotion.
