This charming sculpture depicts a Wooden Pig in an upright and stylized pose, a handcrafted piece that celebrates joy and prosperity with a modern design touch.
The work is masterfully crafted through a striking material contrast. The central body boasts a rough, granular finish, capturing the natural veins of raw wood with warm hues ranging from beige to reddish-brown. This earthy texture is in stark dialogue with the smooth, polished head and tail, made from a pale, matte blonde.
The expression, characterized by empty circular eyes and a stylized, linear smile, gives the pig a playful and cheerful air, emphasizing the elegant two-dimensionality of the figure. The squared legs and distinctive curly tail complete a unique design.
Following Dolfi's tradition for small sculptures, this Pig is skillfully carved from Maple Wood, a precious raw material known for its fine grain and ability to retain sharp details, ensuring an object of the highest quality and durability, entirely handcrafted in Val Gardena.
