Description

Be enchanted by the vividness of this wooden miniature, a tribute to the effervescent alpine fauna. The sculpture captures the squirrel in a pose of curiosity and attention: sitting upright, with its fluffy tail elegantly curled upwards and its snout facing upwards, it clutches a precious acorn between its paws.

The chromatic tones are rich and natural, ranging from the dark reddish-brown of the body to the creamy white of the throat and snout. Meticulous pictorial details, such as the reflection in the eyes and the simulation of the fur on the tail, demonstrate the mastery of our artisans. Each piece is entirely handcrafted and hand-painted, lending a unique and unrepeatable character.

This delightful sculpture is carved from precious maple wood, selected for its fine grain and resistance, ideal materials for capturing every tiny detail and ensuring long-lasting durability. Available in colored (C/C2) or pure natural (N) finishes and in various sizes, from 6 cm up to 14 cm, it is the perfect element to enrich your collection or as a splendid decoration that infuses warmth and nature into any environment.

Detail & Meaning
Lo scoiattolo, nella simbologia popolare e alpina, rappresenta l'agilità, la vivacità e l'importanza della pianificazione. È un simbolo di previdenza e di cura dei propri beni, richiamando l'atto di accumulare provviste per l'inverno. La ghianda, stretta saldamente tra le zampette dell'animale, rafforza questo significato, essendo metafora di pazienza e del potenziale racchiuso in un piccolo seme. Un soggetto perfetto per infondere un senso di gioia, curiosità e concretezza nell'ambiente domestico, specialmente durante il periodo natalizio.
Story
L'intaglio del legno in Val Gardena vanta una tradizione secolare, nata nel XVII secolo, storicamente focalizzata sull'Arte Sacra. Col tempo, la maestria degli scultori si è estesa anche alla rappresentazione dettagliata della flora e della fauna locale, come lo scoiattolo, soggetto amatissimo per la sua presenza nei boschi circostanti. Queste figure, intagliate secondo i canoni della scultura lignea alpina, non sono semplici decorazioni, ma testimonianze dell'abilità di trasformare il legno in opere d'arte tridimensionali, mantenendo vivo un patrimonio culturale unico nel cuore delle Dolomiti.
