Description

Admire the artisanal mastery of Val Gardena encapsulated in this touching sculpture. The Shepherd with Hat in Hand is a masterpiece of wood carving that evokes a profound sense of serenity and devotion.

The figure, sculpted with incredible realism, is characterized by a humble and collected pose: head bowed and the hat, a symbol of journey and work, held delicately to the chest as a sign of deep respect. The garments, in warm, earthy colors (ochre yellow, brown, terracotta red), feature flowing folds that lend dynamism and depth, typical of the Alpine sculpture school.

This statue is made entirely of precious Maple Wood, following the rigorous Dolfi tradition for sizes between 6 cm and 15 cm. The colored finish (C) applied is semi-transparent, allowing the warm grain of the wood underneath to show through, enhancing its natural essence. Also available in Natural Wood (N) and the elegant Three Shades of Brown (3G) finish, this shepherd is the perfect addition to enrich your Nativity scene or your collection of sacred art with spirituality and authenticity.

Detail & Meaning
Iconography: Shepherd with hat in hand, Joseph, Mary, Jesus.
Symbolism: The shepherd represents humility and respect towards the Holy Family, a symbol of peace and serenity.
Story
The shepherd who greets the Holy Family embodies the humility and devotion of the first witnesses of the Nativity. Although not associated with a specific saint, he represents the archetypal figure of the faithful who welcomes with joy and respect the mystery of the Incarnation. His presence in the nativity scene symbolizes the adherence of every simple and pure heart to the divine message, an invitation to contemplation and participation in the sacred event. It is a reminder of the simplicity of faith and the spontaneous veneration that manifests itself in the face of the greatness of the divine.
