The 'Bell of Celestial Sound' is a masterpiece of lightness and harmony, designed to bring a touch of baroque grace to any setting. This exclusive sculpture captures the moment a graceful cherubic putto hovers in the air, intent on playing his small wind instrument. The dynamic pose, with a raised leg and outstretched golden wings, instills a sense of eternal suspension and celestial joy.
Each figure is crafted with the mastery that distinguishes Val Gardena's artisanry. The sculpture, despite its small size (20 cm), is carved from precious maple wood. This wood, known for its fine grain, allows for the carving of the smallest details, from hair strands to feather plumes. After carving, the putto is entirely hand-painted with delicate hues and a finish that alternates between the satin of the skin (peach color) and the sheen of the blue-green drapery.
Luminous details, such as the small wings and the volute ornamental element that supports it, are finished in gold leaf, which reflects light with an ethereal brilliance. The entire scene is expertly encased within a perfectly clear and polished crystal bell, with an elegantly shaped handle. The internal suspension, via a thin silvery chain, transforms this object into a true reliquary of artisanal beauty, a symbol of purity and lightness.
