Description

This delicate Dolfi sculpture captures the serene innocence of the lamb, an essential figure in any Nativity scene or as a decorative element of pure sweetness. The animal is depicted in a blissful resting pose, lying on the ground with its legs folded and head raised, looking forward with a neutral and peaceful expression.

Attention to detail is evident in the handcrafted finish. The surface has been skillfully worked to reproduce the rich and curly texture of the wool fleece, giving the sculpture a tactile and natural look that faithfully imitates the fleecy fur. The chromatic nuances, from opaque cream white to delicate pinkish notes on the muzzle and reddish-brown on the hooves, accentuate the realism and emotional depth of the piece.

In line with the excellence of Gardenese craftsmanship, this lamb is hand-carved from precious maple wood, the material traditionally chosen for all our variants smaller than 56 cm. It is available in C (Colored), N (Natural), and 3G (Three shades of brown) finishes, offering the perfect flexibility to blend harmoniously into your nativity scene or home environment.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Lying sheep, long ears, head turned backwards, vigilance, maple wood, hand-painted finish, nativity scene.
2) Religious meaning: The sheep symbolizes meekness and innocence, recalling the Lamb of God. Its vigilant position and association with the nativity scene evoke Christ's pastoral care for his flock and the Nativity, a symbol of hope and renewal.
Story
The sheep, a symbol of purity and obedience, is deeply linked to the Christian tradition. It represents the "Flock of God" and Jesus himself as the "Good Shepherd" who watches over and guides his faithful. Its presence in the nativity scene evokes the nativity and humility of Christ's birth, recalling the biblical prophecy and the role of sacrificial lamb. The sheep also symbolizes innocence and meekness, qualities that believers are called to cultivate.
