Description

Admire the mastery with which the fleece of this Grazing Sheep has been rendered. Every fold, every ripple of the wool is sculpted with a sculptural precision that enhances its volume. The finish, in off-white and light beige tones, is enriched by grey-beige and brown shades in the crevices, giving the animal an antique effect and a material depth typical of Dolfi craftsmanship.

The sculpture captures the animal in a pose of serene pastoral everyday life, with its head gently tilted, as if it were busy grazing. This figure is essential to bring your nativity scene to life, adding an element of realism and rural tranquility.

Material and Craftsmanship: Since this figure is available in sizes ranging from 6 to 15 cm, it is made entirely of precious maple wood from Val Gardena. Maple wood is renowned for its fine grain, ideal for such detailed carvings. You can choose between the traditional colored variant (C), the purity of natural wood (N), or the three-shade brown effect (3G), all handcrafted and finished according to local artisan tradition.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Sheep standing, grazing/eating pose, maple wood, hand-painted finish.
2) Religious meaning: The sheep is a symbol of meekness, innocence and obedience. In the Christian context, it often represents the faithful ("flock") led by the Shepherd (Christ). The grazing/eating pose may recall spiritual nourishment. Wood, a natural material, can symbolize divine creation.
Story
The sheep, a symbol of purity and meekness, is deeply rooted in the Christian tradition, recalling the figure of Jesus Christ as the "Lamb of God" who takes away the sins of the world. Its presence in nativity scenes evokes the nativity and pastoral simplicity, while in biblical symbology it represents the faithful guided by the "Good Shepherd". Although not associated with a single specific saint, the sheep embodies values of innocence, sacrifice and obedience, virtues celebrated by countless saints and spiritual figures throughout the history of the Church.
