A masterpiece of devotion and carving, Dolfi's Holy Water Font with Madonna and Child is much more than a sacred object: it is a tribute to the sculptural art of Val Gardena, designed to guard the sacredness of holy water in every home.
The entire composition is elevated by a striking decorative frame. Observe the elaborate carving that surrounds it, with its Baroque-inspired volutes and rich floral motifs, which give the work an organic breath and profound elegance. The central figures of the Madonna and Child rest on a stylized basin reminiscent of a seashell, a symbol of purity and pilgrimage.
The garments and flesh tones are painted with artisan mastery, using soft, opaque shades that enhance the serene expression and tenderness of the maternal bond. The sculpture, available in a 13 cm size, is made of precious maple wood, known for its fine grain and its ability to retain even the smallest carving details. Depending on your preference, you can choose between the Classic Colored (C) finish, the elegant Three Shades of Brown (3G) version, or the exclusive variant with Gold Leaf Details (CV), which adds a touch of divine light.
