The kneeling figure of Mary is a sublime expression of devotion and anticipation. Masterfully carved by the artisans of Val Gardena, it captures the moment of profound contemplation that precedes the Birth of Christ. The kneeling pose, with her torso slightly reclined and hands joined in prayer, conveys a touching serenity. The expression on her face, with eyes gently lowered, invites silence and reflection.
The Colored finish (C), as seen in the photo, enhances the warm and earthy tones. The earthy red of the dress harmoniously blends with the bright ochre yellow of the mantle, highlighted by an off-white veil. This glazing paint is applied by hand, respecting the materiality of the wood and allowing its natural grain to show through, giving the statue an authentic and lively appearance. The absence of gilding keeps the focus on the simplicity and purity of the form.
This statue is an essential piece to complete any nativity scene setting. Respecting our artisanal logic and dimensions, the sculpture is made of precious maple wood for all size variants up to 28 cm. For the imposing 56 cm size, robust linden wood is used, ideal for ensuring maximum stability and perfect rendition of sculptural detail on a large scale. Also available in N (natural) and 3G (three shades of brown) finishes.
