Description

Admire the intense depiction of the Wandering Shepherd, a work that captures the essence of daily toil and dedication. This expertly hand-painted wooden sculpture features an elderly male figure whose thoughtful, slightly inclined face tells a story of journeys and fieldwork. The clothing, rendered in natural, earthy tones – from the light beige of his garment to the soft ochre of his cloak – enhances its rustic and authentic character.

Attention to detail is evident: the man is burdened by the weight of two overflowing pitchers of water, supported by a sturdy strap. The realistic folds of the fabrics and the matte finish, devoid of shiny elements, give the statue a visual and tactile warmth typical of Val Gardena craftsmanship.

True to the Dolfi tradition, this statue is carved from precious maple wood, the ideal choice for the available sizes (from 6 cm to 18 cm), ensuring extraordinary fineness in its details. You can choose between the vibrant colored finish (C), the sober elegance of natural wood (N), or the warm, shaded effect of the three shades of brown (3G).

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Shepherd with water jugs, tilted head, maple wood, hand painting.
2) Religious meaning: The shepherd symbolizes humility and care, the jugs offering and purity. The tilting of the head expresses devotion and contemplation of the Nativity. Maple wood and hand painting recall the authenticity and sacredness of craftsmanship, conveying peace and joy.
Story
The shepherd, an essential biblical figure, embodies humility and devotion. His presence in the nativity scene symbolizes the first welcome of the Messiah by ordinary people, witnessing the joy and wonder at the birth of Jesus. He is not associated with a specific saint, but represents the archetype of the faithful who recognize and venerate the divine.
