Bring the simple and profound magic of Val Gardena into your home with our Minimalist Bark Nativity Scene, a masterpiece of essentiality and craftsmanship. This unique sculpture is entirely carved from a thick section of tree trunk, preserving the rustic beauty of the outer bark, which frames the Holy Family like a natural grotto.
The figures are expertly crafted from maple wood, a precious material chosen by our sculptors for its fine grain, perfect for the 18 cm size. Saint Joseph, the Madonna, and Baby Jesus are represented in abstract and smooth forms, evoking a sense of calm and contemplation. The natural veins of the light wood, juxtaposed with the dark, rough brown of the bark, create a powerful and material visual contrast.
To complete the work, two stylized fir trees stand beside the scene, surmounted by the guiding star. A functional and suggestive detail is the cavity carved into the base to house the glass candle holder (candle included), transforming the nativity scene into a source of warm and meditative light for your Christmas evenings. A work of art that celebrates the union between faith and alpine nature.
