A masterpiece of light and devotion, this ornamental medallion captures the eye with its elaborate carved frame. The artisan mastery of Val Gardena is revealed in the symmetrical openwork, which draws volutes and stylized motifs recalling floral elements and scrolls, delicately framing the central scene.

Inside, a painting with pastel and diffused tones depicts Archangel Raphael (or the Guardian Angel) gently and serenely guiding young Tobias, who holds the miraculous fish in his hands. The angelic robes, dyed in soft blues and pinks, give the composition an aura of serene spirituality.

The entire structure, measuring 15 cm, is made of Birch plywood, meticulously carved and left with a natural and matte finish to enhance the purity of the raw material. This medallion combines traditional sculpture with pictorial art, creating a sacred object of profound beauty and protective meaning.

1) Iconographic and symbolic elements:
- Cerchio: Symbol of divine perfection, eternity, unity and completeness. Represents God's infinite love.
- S. Gabriele: The Archangel Gabriel, divine messenger par excellence, known for announcing the birth of Jesus to Mary. Symbol of annunciation, protection and spiritual guidance.
- Legno intagliato a laser e fatto a mano in Val Gardena: Wood, a natural material, evokes divine creation and the solidity of faith. Laser engraving ensures precision and detail, while the "handmade" craftsmanship in Val Gardena underlines authenticity, devotion and artistic tradition, conferring added value of care and uniqueness.
2) Religious meaning:
The product unites divine perfection (cerchio) with the figure of the Archangel Gabriel, symbol of hope and the Word of God that manifests itself. The choice of wood and the craftsmanship refer to the simplicity and purity of faith, enhancing the tradition and devotion that are passed down through sacred art. It is an object that encourages contemplation and reflection on the divine presence in everyday life.

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, the "Messenger of God," is a central figure in the Abrahamic traditions. Revered for announcing the birth of Jesus to Mary and for dictating the Quran to Muhammad, he is a symbol of revelation and divine communication. Patron saint of communicators and postal workers, his feast day is September 29th. His image evokes protection and spiritual guidance, making him a powerful symbol of faith and hope.
