Sometimes the purest emotion lies in material simplicity. Dolfi's Guardian Angel sculpture is a testament to this principle, a unique piece where the sculptural art of Val Gardena meets the most authentic nature. This angel, 12 cm tall, is made of precious maple wood, following our artisanal tradition for sizes under 56 cm.
The figure is enveloped by a striking tactile contrast: the broad wings and body are finished with the integrity of natural bark, which offers chromatic nuances from dark brown to reddish and a lively, rough texture. This rustic beauty is juxtaposed with the smooth and polished inner surfaces of the light wood, which delineate the edges, the rounded head, and the central element. In the center of the chest, a stylized heart, carved into the smooth wood, symbolizes unconditional love and protection. A small shiny ribbon, gold or silver, adorns the neck, adding a discreet touch of light to this creation of deep Val Gardena spirituality.
