The sculpture of Mary Help of Christians with Child is a hymn to faith and the artisan excellence of Val Gardena. The regal figures, both crowned, rest on an ethereal cloud base, conveying a sense of elevation and sacredness. The chromatic harmony of the polychrome (C) finish is immediately perceptible: the deep tones of the Virgin's blue-gray slate mantle blend with the earthy orange of her inner garment, while the Child shines in an olive green tunic. The bright metallic gold details on the crowns and scepter enhance the majesty of the Queen, who welcomes and protects with a sweet and contemplative gaze.

Every Dolfi statue is the result of centuries of tradition. The wood used is carefully selected, ensuring eternal stability and beauty. Sizes up to 56 cm are crafted from precious maple wood, known for its fine grain ideal for the most minute details. For larger statues (from 60 cm upwards), we choose linden wood, which is lighter and more stable for large dimensions, ensuring that the quality and artistic definition remain unaltered, whether you opt for the polychrome (C), natural (N), or brown-shaded (3G) version.

This sculpture of Mary Help of Christians, a Dolfi work, features:
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: scepter, crown, sweet face, red dress and blue cloak, natural folds, position on cloud/crescent moon.
2) Religious meaning: The scepter and crown symbolize Mary's celestial authority and royalty. The face expresses sweetness and divine strength. The red dress and blue cloak recall her royalty and divinity. The folds of the clothing highlight the craftsmanship and sacredness of the figure. The celestial position underlines her divine nature and role as Queen of Heaven and Earth, a powerful intercessor and protector of the faithful.

Mary Help of Christians, venerated on May 24, is a Marian title that emphasizes Mary's role as a "help" and "aid" for Christians. Her devotion is particularly linked to Saint John Bosco and the Salesians, who chose her as their patron saint and protector. Her image often depicts her with the Child Jesus, the scepter and the crown, symbols of her royalty and her intercessory power. She is considered a powerful protector against adversity and intercedes for the faithful, especially in times of difficulty. Her veneration is widespread throughout the Catholic world, testifying to the trust in her maternal assistance.
