Description
The presence of the donkey in the nativity scene is of great importance, as it represents the modesty and humility of the animal that accompanied the Holy Family on their flight to Egypt. The donkey statue is a work of art that captures the essence of this animal, with its powerful figure and calm, curious expression. The sculpture has been created with great attention to detail, with careful maple woodwork and a hand-painted finish, making the donkey an almost real figure. The donkey's gaze towards the baby Jesus represents his devotion and respect for the Saviour figure, and his standing position suggests his readiness to help and protect the Holy Family. This statue is an ideal addition to a traditional nativity scene or to any collection of sacred artwork.
