This fascinating sculpture captures the essence of nature and Alpine craftsmanship. The sheep is made with a unique material composition: its body retains its natural bark, offering a rough, earthy texture that enhances the visual softness of the fleece and ranges from dark brown tones to grey specks.
The head and legs, on the other hand, are expertly carved from Maple Wood, chosen for sculptures of this size (5 cm), ensuring a smooth and polished finish that contrasts beautifully with the raw bark. The stylization is minimal and elegant: small circular eyes and a simple inverted 'Y' shape for the muzzle give the animal a peaceful and modern expression. Each piece is a small masterpiece of balance between the raw power of the forest and the delicacy of Val Gardena's artisanal craftsmanship, combining contemporary design and centuries-old tradition.
