Admire the sweetness and serenity of this crouching ox, an essential figure in every nativity scene. The sculpture captures the animal in a relaxed and peaceful pose, with its legs folded beneath its body and its head raised in a calm and thoughtful expression. The body is covered in a warm brown, enhanced by lighter, shinier shades that define its soft and rounded forms.
Skilful details such as the ivory-coloured horns, the dark tuft on its forehead, and the characteristic olive-green collar with a brass-coloured bell enrich its uniqueness and character. The entire work is characterized by a friendly and welcoming stylization, the result of the mastery of our sculptors from Val Gardena.
This statue is entirely made of maple wood, carefully selected according to the artisanal tradition that Dolfi has handed down for generations. For sizes like this 10 cm one, maple wood is preferred for its fine grain that allows for maximum detail definition and long durability. Each piece is crafted, sanded, and hand-painted with the utmost care, bringing into your homes not just a sacred furnishing object, but a true artistic masterpiece that celebrates the authenticity of handmade.
Special feature: The ox's head is equipped with a magnet system that allows it to be easily detached and reattached to the body. This ingenious solution not only facilitates storage and transport, but also makes the sculpture a creative and fun toy for children, who can experiment and play safely with the nativity characters, stimulating their imagination and creativity.
