This Dolfi masterpiece embodies the Nativity in a form of extraordinary purity and harmony. The sculpture, carved from a single block of wood, celebrates simplicity through clean lines and stylized figures. The Holy Family – Mary and Joseph kneeling in adoration of the Infant Jesus – emerges in relief, creating an almost three-dimensional effect, perfect for those seeking a modern and visually striking icon of faith.
The true uniqueness of this Nativity set lies in the material contrast: the figures and base feature a smooth, opaque surface, typical of light wood, which poetically clashes with the upper edge. This edge retains the authentic tree bark, a rustic and irregular finish that testifies to the naturalness and origin of the material, giving the sculpture an unmistakable character rooted in the earth.
Crafted with the mastery that only Val Gardena can offer, this stylized 23 cm Nativity set is carved entirely from maple wood. Maple wood was specially selected for its fine grain and its beige-blonde hue, which enhances the natural finish and purity of the design. It is a piece of sacred design that instills serenity and contemporaneity in any environment.
