Description
This nativity scene shepherdess is an enchanting work of art, created by Dolfi's master craftsmen. The figure depicts a shepherdess in oriental style, seated on a log and with a veil covering her head. In her left hand she holds a jug of water, while with her right hand she seems to be pointing to something special, perhaps the birth of Jesus. The figure has been hand-carved with care and precision, using high quality maple wood and hand-painted with oil paints to create a realistic and natural effect. The figure is perfect for creating an atmosphere of spirituality and peace in the nativity scene, and goes perfectly with other hand-carved nativity figures. The extraordinary crib shepherdess made by Dolfi's renowned artisans is a truly special crib figure, crafted with immense precision and skill. It is truly a one-of-a-kind object of great value.
Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Shepherdess in oriental style, sitting on a trunk, veil, water jug, pointing hand.
2) Religious meaning: The shepherdess, a humble and attentive figure, symbolizes the waiting and welcoming of the Nativity. The oriental style evokes the biblical origins. The water jug may recall purity or spiritual thirst, while the gesture of the hand indicates the divine revelation of the birth of Jesus.
Story
The shepherdess, an iconic figure in the Nativity scene, is not associated with a specific saint, but embodies the simplicity and humility of the first witnesses of the Nativity. She represents the common people, the shepherds who were the first to receive the announcement of the birth of Jesus and rushed to worship him. Her presence in the Nativity scene symbolizes the participation of every man, regardless of their status, in the mystery of salvation. The veneration for this figure is linked to the broader meaning of the Nativity scene itself: an invitation to contemplation and acceptance of the divine in everyday life.
