Description

Immerse yourself in the tranquility of tradition with this splendid sculpture that captures the essential and reassuring figure of the Shepherd. Seated in a pose of rest and profound care, the Shepherd cradles a small lamb in his lap, a universal symbol of protection and guidance.

His robe, rich in detailed folds and shades ranging from yellow-ochre to brown, gives depth and realism to the figure. The serene complexion and well-defined beard express a contemplative calm. Each piece is characterized by a matte or semi-matte pictorial finish, with visible brushstrokes that accentuate its traditional and antique appearance, enriched with details such as the staff and the small bowl.

This work of art is masterfully crafted in compliance with the ancient sculptural art of Val Gardena. For all available sizes (from 6 cm to 18 cm), we exclusively use maple wood, known for its fine grain and resistance, perfect for capturing every minute detail. You can choose between the 'Colored maple wood' (C) finish, where warm and natural tones enhance the scene, and 'Natural maple wood' (N), which leaves the wood its intrinsic and pure beauty.

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.
