Description

This sculpture captures the placid and attentive expression of a walking sheep, an essential element to enrich your nativity scene. Val Gardena craftsmanship is expressed in the obsessive attention to detail, particularly in the fleece, rendered with a curly and deep texture that perfectly simulates wool. The hand-applied shades of beige and cream create a remarkable shading and realism effect, emphasizing every groove of the coat.

The animal's gaze, with detailed dark green and black eyes, conveys a serene presence. From the upright posture to the slender legs resting on finely carved hooves, every line is a tribute to sculptural mastery.

Faithful to tradition, this figurine is entirely made of Maple Wood. This Alpine wood, known for its fine grain and resistance, is the choice for all available sizes (from 6 cm to 14 cm).

Choose from different exclusive finishes to perfectly integrate it into your display: the Colored (C) version with realistic painting, the Natural (N) finish that enhances the intrinsic beauty of the wood, or the 3G variant with three shades of brown for a more rustic effect.

The sheep in the nativity scene symbolizes humility, purity, and docility, central values in the Nativity narrative. Its presence evokes the simplicity of the shepherds, the first to welcome the divine message. It is not associated with a specific saint, but represents meekness and devotion, reflecting the figure of the Lamb of God, Jesus himself. Its veneration is intrinsic to the meaning of the nativity scene, a reminder of the peace and serenity that the birth of Christ brings into the world.
