A masterpiece of essentiality and warmth, this nativity scene encloses the magic of Christmas in a circular embrace. The Nativity scene is entirely carved from a single cross-section of wood, creating a fascinating contrast between the rustic finish of the outer bark and the smooth perfection of the inner carving.
The three sacred figures – Mary in contemplation, Saint Joseph with his staff, and the Baby Jesus at the center – are depicted with pure and modern silhouettes, a tribute to the fretwork carving art typical of Val Gardena. The figures, made according to the Dolfi tradition, are crafted from precious maple wood, known for its fine grain and durability, which lends itself perfectly to creating precise details even in a small size of 10 cm.
The complete absence of paint emphasizes the natural beauty of the light wood, whose grain becomes an integral part of the artwork. A comet star, a symbol of guidance and hope, watches over the sacred event, making this nativity scene a Christmas centerpiece of unparalleled Nordic elegance and a perfect tribute to nature.
