Description
This figure of a lying shepherd boy is an enchanting work of art, created by master craftsmen from Trentino Alto Adige. The figure depicts a shepherd boy lying comfortably, with an Arabian-style veil on his head. In his right arm he is holding a capricious little goat who is neither willing to drink nor eat the food the shepherd boy is offering her in his left hand. The figure has been hand-carved with great care and skill, using high quality maple wood, hand-painted with oil paints to create a realistic and natural effect. The figure is perfect for creating an atmosphere of authenticity and spirituality in the nativity scene, and goes perfectly with other maple wood carved nativity figures. This lying shepherd crib figure is a unique and valuable work of art, created with great passion and skill by DOLFI master craftsmen from Val Gardena.
Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Shepherd lying down, Arab veil, goat, maple wood.
2) Religious meaning: The shepherd symbolizes humility and the care of God's flock. The goat, while not a direct symbol, can recall the simplicity of pastoral life and dependence on providence. The Arab veil contextualizes the scene in the biblical tradition. The maple wood, a natural material, evokes authenticity and divine creation.
Story
The product described is not associated with a specific saint, but depicts a generic shepherd, a central and symbolic figure of the Christmas nativity scene. Shepherds, although not canonized as saints, are revered in the Christian tradition for being the first to receive the announcement of Jesus' birth from the angels and for witnessing his coming. Their presence in the nativity scene symbolizes the humility, simplicity, and faith of those who welcome the divine message. They represent ordinary people, workers, and guardians, who with their presence pay homage to the Child Jesus, bringing gifts and worshiping him. Their figure evokes a sense of peace, devotion, and the joy of the Nativity.
