The Dolfi Lying Sheep is a masterpiece of wood carving that captures the essence of purity and serenity. This figure, essential for any Nativity Scene, is characterized by a simple and naive expression, accentuated by its dotted eyes and its placid and reassuring pose.
What makes this sculpture unique is the extraordinary care dedicated to its texture. Observing closely, one appreciates the hyper-realistic and markedly three-dimensional rendering of the wool, worked with irregular reliefs and ridges that give it an unparalleled tactile effect. The animal's body, with its legs folded underneath, is modeled harmoniously, and its raised head turned to the right adds a sense of watchful waiting.
True to the Val Gardena tradition, each lamb is hand-carved. For all available size variations (from 6 cm to 15 cm), the material used is the precious maple wood, known for its fineness and ability to retain the minutest details. The finish shown, which evokes cream, yellowish-brown, and reddish tones, is obtained through skillful patination that simulates the wear of time, giving the sculpture an authentic antique charm. This model is available in the variations Colored (C), Natural (N), and Three shades of brown (3G), to integrate perfectly into your collection.
