The Dolfi shepherdess sculpture captures a moment of profound grace and tranquility, embodying the sweet simplicity of the Annunciation of the Nativity. Crafted with the mastery that distinguishes Val Gardena artistry, this miniature figure stands out for its serene and contemplative expression.
The girl is dressed in a deep blue gown, a color traditionally symbolizing spirituality, contrasted by the warm burnt orange of her short cloak, in a striking chromatic balance. Her clasped hands hold a small basket filled with gifts from the earth: a bunch of grapes, an apple, and a stylized pear, offered with humility.
This precious piece, available in a 10 cm size, is entirely carved from Maple wood, the preferred material for small sculptures, renowned for its fine grain and durability. The meticulous hand-finished detailing enhances the wood's natural texture while imbuing the colors with depth and vibrancy. Every detail, from the golden ribbon on her head to the peaceful expression on her face, testifies to the care and passion of the South Tyrolean sculptors, making it an ideal piece to enrich your nativity scene or as a delicate collector's item.
