Description

Immerse yourself in the sweetness and care of the Shepherd Boy with Lamb, a work of art that captures a moment of tender protection and devotion. The young shepherd, with his mustard-colored headscarf, grayish-blue jacket, and terracotta trousers, leans down thoughtfully to support and care for the little lamb in his hands. The expression on his face, with his eyes gently turned towards the animal, conveys a deep and authentic sense of nurturing.

This sculpture is the purest testament to the craftsmanship handed down in Val Gardena. Every detail, from the defined folds of the shepherd's clothes to the gentle features of the lamb's morphology, is finely carved and hand-finished. The entire work is made from maple wood, selected for its compactness and fine grain that allows for extremely precise workmanship. The finishes are available in Natural Wood, in three warm shades of brown, or in the Colored (C) version, hand-painted with care to enhance the earthy tones and reveal the noble texture of the wood beneath. A piece of rare beauty, ideal for enriching your nativity scene or as a symbol of deep devotion.

Story
The shepherd in the nativity scene is not associated with a specific saint, but represents a fundamental biblical figure in the narrative of the Nativity. It symbolizes the humility, simplicity and faith of the first witnesses of the birth of Jesus. Their presence underlines the universal message of the coming of the Savior, accessible to all, from the most humble to the most powerful. The shepherds were the first to receive the angelic announcement and to go to the manger, thus becoming the first evangelizers of the good news. Their veneration is implicit in the nativity tradition, which includes them as an integral part of the sacred event, celebrating their faith and their role in spreading the news of the birth of Christ.
