Description
A finely carved maple wood figurine of a shepherdess carrying two large jugs of water on her shoulders is an eye-catching work of art. It is an example of a traditional nativity scene figure representing rural life at the time in which the story of the nativity of Jesus is set. Shepherdesses were women who tended livestock and often carried jugs of milk or water. The wooden figurine of a shepherdess carrying two heavy jugs of water on her shoulder therefore symbolises the self-sacrifice and commitment of the women of the time, who made great sacrifices to care for the animals and their families.
Maple wood is perfect for making crib figurines because it is malleable and has a natural tone that blends beautifully with soft oil colours. Its unique characteristics make it a popular choice among Dolfi craftsmen.
Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Shepherdess with water jugs.
2) Religious meaning: Symbolizes humility, service and female self-sacrifice, recalling the rural life of the Nativity period and the sacrifices for the family.
Story
The shepherdess with jugs, while not being a canonized saint, embodies profound values ​​of dedication and sacrifice, often associated with the humble and laborious life that surrounds the Nativity. She symbolizes feminine care and commitment, recalling the self-denial of biblical figures who humbly served the divine, such as Mary or the women who assisted Jesus. Her presence in the nativity scene evokes veneration for the simplicity and fortitude of ordinary people, who with their daily work contribute to the divine design.
