Description

This sculpture captures a moment of serene everyday life, essential for animating the Holy Nativity: the sheep caught in the act of grazing, a symbol of peace and humility.

Crafted entirely from Maple Wood, according to the ancient sculptural tradition of Val Gardena, this figure stands out for its meticulous workmanship. The artist has managed to infuse life into the texture of the fleece, carving deep reliefs and grooves that simulate soft, curly wool, highlighting the natural chromatic variations or chosen finishes.

The pose, with its gently bowed head and massive, stylized body, conveys profound tranquility. The matte finish and the richness of surface details contrast with the simplicity of the face, creating a piece of art that combines technical refinement and emotional immediacy. Choose between the colored finish (C), natural wood (N), or the three shades of brown (3G) to seamlessly integrate it into your Dolfi collection.
