Description

A shepherdess figure that embodies the simplicity and dignity of the Christmas tradition. With a basket of bread in one hand and a jug of water in the other, this nativity sculpture represents everyday gestures elevated to a symbol of generosity. Her dress catches the eye with its vibrant polka-dotted yellow, complemented by a cream-colored blouse with puff sleeves and a skirt that elegantly degrades towards deep brown. Every fold of the fabric, every nuance of the head covering that delicately frames her face, reveals the extraordinary craftsmanship of the masters of Val Gardena. A piece that transforms your nativity scene into a narrative of authentic beauty and skill.

The piece is hand-carved from maple wood, a material chosen for its fineness and ability to take the most delicate finishes, available for all sizes up to 56 cm. The colorful (C) finish brings the sculpture to life, enhancing the objects the Shepherdess carries: an earthenware jug and a basket overflowing with gifts from the earth. The darker areas are treated with a special "burnished" finish that allows the wood grain to show through, adding depth and a patinated charm typical of works handed down through time. The sculpture is also available in natural wood (N) and in three shades of brown (3G), allowing you to choose the perfect expression of this alpine art.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Shepherdess with basket and jug.
2) Religious meaning: The shepherdess symbolizes the humility and simplicity of the first worshipers of Jesus. The basket and jug recall daily life and the offering of gifts, central elements in the Nativity narrative.
Story
The shepherdess, an archetypal figure in the nativity scene, is not associated with a specific saint, but embodies the humility and simplicity of the shepherds who were the first to welcome the birth of Jesus. Their presence in the nativity scene symbolizes the acceptance of the Good News by the humble and simple of heart, representing the joy and wonder in the face of the miracle of the Nativity. Their veneration is therefore linked to the deepest meaning of Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Christ.
