The sculpture captures the essence of devotion and humility in a moment of profound contemplation. The figure of Mary is immortalized in a bowed and collected pose, with her head reclined and her hands raised in a gesture of offering or serene welcome. The expression on her face, characterized by closed or downcast eyes and slightly curved lips, conveys absolute inner peace. This delicate statue depicts Mary in a moment of infinite tenderness, perfect for welcoming the Baby Jesus into her arms or lap.
The Dolfi master artisans have used a palette of pastel and natural colors to enhance the purity of the scene: the inner antique rose colored dress is wrapped in an outer pale grey-blue drapery. The folds of the garments are rendered with a meticulousness that gives depth and dynamism to the figure, accentuated by the refined gold-colored border on the edge of the mantle.
All variants of this statuette, available in sizes from 8 cm to 16 cm, are entirely carved in Maple Wood, the noble material par excellence of Gardena craftsmanship used for sculptures smaller than 56 cm. The finish, meticulously hand-painted by our expert painters, allows the warmth of the wood to shine through, guaranteeing a unique work of art that will gracefully and spiritually enrich your Nativity Scene.
