Description
This crib shepherd is a hand-carved work of art with care and attention to detail. The figure depicts a shepherd in oriental style, sitting comfortably on a log while watering his sheep with a small bowl and stroking it while holding a stick in his arm. The figure wears a veil on his head, typical of traditional Oriental clothing. The shepherd looks relaxed and contented, as if enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding nature after a long walk. This nativity scene figurine has been carved from high quality wood and hand-painted with oil colours to give a natural and realistic effect. The figure has been skilfully created by experienced Val Gardena artisans, famous for their skill in carving wood and creating high quality nativity scene figures. This decorative crib shepherd brings a serene and festive atmosphere to your crib character collection.
Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Shepherd, sheep, staff, oriental veil, act of watering and caressing.
2) Religious meaning: The shepherd symbolizes spiritual guidance and care for the flock (the faithful). The sheep represents the believers. The act of watering and caressing evokes the solicitude and pastoral love of Christ, the Good Shepherd, who nourishes and protects his people. The staff is a symbol of protection and guidance.
Story
The product described is not associated with a specific saint, but depicts a generic shepherd, an emblematic figure of the Christmas nativity scene. In the Christian tradition, shepherds are the first witnesses of the birth of Jesus, who rushed to the cave after the announcement of the angels. They symbolize humility, simplicity, and readiness to welcome the divine message. Their presence in the nativity scene evokes the atmosphere of peace and joy of the Nativity, recalling the connection between man and nature, and the loving care for creation, as expressed by the gesture of watering the sheep. The figure of the shepherd is therefore a universal symbol of devotion and acceptance of the sacred.
