This enchanting sculpture captures the sweetness and serenity of the donkey, an essential figure in every Nativity scene. The animal is depicted in a crouched pose, with its legs folded under its body, and its head slightly raised, gazing at the observer with a serene and almost sleepy look. The expression, with half-closed eyes and heavy eyelids, adds a touch of realism and profound tranquility.
The warm colors, dominated by a uniform caramel brown and enriched by dark shading that defines the shapes, highlight the mastery of the painting. Particular attention has been paid to the detail of the bright yellow-orange collar, decorated with studs and completed by two delicate dark blue bells. Each piece is entirely molded and hand-finished according to the renowned tradition of Val Gardena.
Technical Specifications: The Donkey is crafted from high-quality maple wood, a material selected for its fine grain and ability to retain sculptural details, ideal for this 10 cm size. A masterpiece of craftsmanship that adds an element of tranquility and authenticity to your Nativity scene.
Special Feature: The donkey's head is equipped with a magnetic system allowing it to be easily detached and reattached to the body. This ingenious solution not only facilitates storage and transport but also makes the sculpture a creative and fun toy for children, who can safely experiment and play with the Nativity characters, stimulating their imagination and creativity.
