A work of profound spirituality, where light and devotion merge in the excellence of Val Gardena craftsmanship. This framed plaque captures the ethereal figure of the Virgin Mary of Lourdes in a pose of humble contemplation. The blue-green drapery and candid dress envelop the figure, enhanced by a luminous aura on the yellow-ochre background that underscores its sacredness. The gentle inclination of the head and the serene expression instill an immediate sense of peace.
The true marvel of this artifact lies in its structure. The frame is made of Birch Plywood, the preferred choice of sculptors for works requiring meticulous detail and precision. The wood, left in its natural and clear finish, is perforated and carved with an elaborate symmetrical floral motif, typical of the ornamental tradition of Val Gardena. This workmanship is not just a decoration, but a testament to the ancient sculptural art that transforms raw material into a masterpiece of faith and beauty. With its small size (15 cm), this plaque is perfect for bringing a focal point of light and prayer to any home environment.
