Description

The Sitting Fox sculpture captures the fierce elegance of this wild animal in a moment of calm and watchful attention. The work is a masterpiece of meticulous carving, created following the ancient tradition of Val Gardena craftsmanship, renowned worldwide for the excellence of its creations.

Each piece is masterfully carved and portrays the fox crouching, with its thick tail wrapped around its body. The fur, made vibrant by an engraved texture and extremely detailed painting, features a rich chromatic range: from dark browns on the back, to reddish tones on the flanks, to creamy whites on the muzzle and chest. The attentive gaze and collected pose give the figure an aura of peaceful majesty and incredible realism.

This figurine, available in smaller sizes (from 6 to 14 cm), is made of maple wood, a precious material chosen for its fineness and compactness, which allows our sculptors to achieve extraordinary detail definition, both in colored and natural variations. A small masterpiece of a wooden fox, perfect for enriching your nativity scene or your collection of alpine fauna.
Detail & Meaning
The fox is a universal symbol of intelligence, cunning, and adaptability, qualities that have earned it a place of honor in folklore and fables. In artistic representations and nativity traditions, the presence of wild animals such as the fox serves to evoke the surrounding natural world, celebrating the harmony of creation and the peace that extends to all creatures at the time of the Nativity. The pose depicted here, calm and watchful, enhances these qualities, transforming the animal into a warning of prudence and silent observation.
Story
Wood carving in Val Gardena has centuries-old roots, dating back to the 17th century, when farmers began carving religious figures and everyday objects to supplement their winter income. This tradition has evolved to include a wide range of naturalistic and animal subjects, such as this fox, which reflect the rich alpine fauna and are often added to the nativity scene to enrich it. The artisanal process, handed down from generation to generation, keeps alive the bond between the artist, the wood and the territory, guaranteeing the uniqueness and value of each individual sculpture.
