This sculptural group captures a moment of serene intimacy and gratitude, essential for the representation of the Nativity scene. The female figure, with her contemplative expression, symbolizes care and prosperity, holding tightly in her arms a bundle of golden wheat ears, a tribute to the fruits of the earth and a foreshadowing of the eucharistic bread.
The child, with his delicate and attentive pose, clings to the girl's dress, looking with curiosity towards the gift of the harvest. The details are masterfully rendered: from the pastel earthy tones of the garments (coral orange, blue-grey, and light ochre) to the decorative motifs carved on the skirt, to the wavy texture of the hair and the meticulous sculpting of the wheat ears.
Every Dolfi figurine is a testament to the artisanal excellence of Val Gardena. This piece is entirely carved in maple wood for all available sizes (from 6 cm to 28 cm). The colored finish, which enhances the subtle grain of the wood under a matte and slightly translucent hand-painting, is created by expert decorators who give each piece an unparalleled warmth and naturalness.
