This evocative sculpture captures a moment of quiet devotion and anticipation. The Shepherd, depicted in a humble and collected pose, is caught in the act of blowing his horn, a solemn call that breaks the silence of the night. His expression is calm and focused, reflecting sincere faith and wonder at the sacred event.
The craftsmanship of Val Gardena shines through in the richness of the details, carved to create a visual effect of profound authenticity: from the realistic folds of the dull olive green robe and ochre drape, to the woven texture of the basket full of loaves. The Lamb, a symbol of purity and innocence, rests peacefully at his feet, enhancing the sweetness of the scene.
Materials and Finishes: Crafted exclusively with the mastery that distinguishes our sculptural art, this figure is carved in maple wood (for all available sizes up to 15 cm), renowned for its fine grain that allows for extraordinary detail. It can be chosen in finish C (hand-painted with earthy tones and opaque pigments, as shown) or in the precious variations N (natural wood) and 3G (wood stained in three shades of brown) to perfectly integrate into your traditional nativity scene.
