In line with the sculptural tradition of Val Gardena, this piece, given its size of 52 cm, is carved from precious maple wood, known for its compactness and ability to render the most minute details. The structure, from the roof tiles to the root-carved base, is finished with skillful shades of brown that enhance the natural grain of the wood.
Observe the richness of the scene: in the foreground, two couples in traditional attire dance on the balcony, while the central dial tells time with clear Roman numerals. At the base, daily life unfolds between a water wheel, a lumberjack busy cutting wood, and two figures resting on a bench. Details such as the fence and small wooden fir trees complete this idyllic picture. The pinecone-shaped weights and the decorative pendulum, elegantly suspended, ensure the functionality and authenticity of this masterpiece.
