The Shepherd with Jug figurine captures a moment of quietude and humility, essential for enriching your Nativity scene. The young, serene figure is sculpted with soft features and a calm expression, eyes cast downward in a gesture of profound devotion and expectation.
He wears simple clothing, with a close-fitting head covering and garments in natural, earthy tones: from the off-white of his shirt to the warm brown of his trousers and the cloth wrapping the ochre/mustard-colored jug. His raised left hand is a silent invitation to an offering, while his right hand supports the jug. The meticulous attention to detail, from the folds of the clothing to the profile of the jug, testifies to the artisanal mastery.
This precious sculpture is crafted from authentic Val Gardena Maple Wood, chosen for its finesse and ability to capture the minutest details. Each piece is entirely hand-carved and hand-painted by master Dolfi artisans, who use oil or acrylic paints to ensure a matte or semi-matte finish that enhances the wood's texture and the naturalness of the representation. Available in a colored finish or natural wood, to suit every Nativity style.
