Let yourselves be enchanted by the quiet devotion of this splendid sculpture, a masterpiece of Val Gardena craftsmanship that captures a moment of simple and profound spirituality. The figure of the Shepherd with Geese is depicted in an upright and reassuring pose, whose face, framed by a thick beard, expresses a serene calm.
The artist has used a palette of earthy and desaturated colors, with a grey-green tunic and a brick-colored head covering that enhance the pictorial realism. The drapery of the garment is masterfully rendered with fluid folds that give volume and depth. In a gesture of offering and care, the shepherd holds a white goose to his chest, while two others rest faithfully at his feet, symbols of humility and providence.
Each figurine is entirely carved and hand-painted by our master artisans. The available color and finish variations (Colored C, Natural N, and Three Shades of Brown 3G) allow you to customize your purchase for every type of collection or nativity scene.
In line with the high Dolfi sculptural tradition, for sizes up to 28 cm, the statue is made from precious maple wood, known for its fine carving. For the imposing 56 cm size, we use robust lime wood, ensuring maximum stability and detail even in large works.
