Description

This beautiful sculpture captures a moment of tender stillness and deep devotion, essential for your Nativity scene. Admire the Shepherd, resting in a peaceful pose, his gentle and thoughtful gaze turned upwards, infusing serenity into the entire scene.

His garments, sculpted with ample and natural folds, are hand-painted with warm earthy tones: muted ochre yellow and terracotta, enhanced by a semi-gloss finish that preserves their luminescence. The man gently cradles a small kid, a symbol of care and protection, quietly drinking from a bowl on the ground. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the finely sculpted hands to the animal's small horns, testifying to the mastery of the Val Gardena artisans.

The available sizes, from 6 cm to 28 cm, are entirely made of precious maple wood, handcrafted and carved to ensure lasting quality and unparalleled artistic expression. Choose between the colored (C), natural (N), or three shades of brown (3G) finishes to perfectly integrate it into your collection.

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.
