This touching Dolfi sculpture captures the essence of care and protection in a single, sublime image. The small child is nestled and completely enveloped by a large adult hand, a universal symbol of security and unconditional love. The serene and peaceful expression of the child, with slightly lowered eyes and a hint of a smile, conveys complete trust in their guardian.

The master artisans of Val Gardena have worked with scrupulous attention to detail, evident in the wavy and curly locks of the child's hair and the defined folds that give movement to the clothing. The finish, available in different variations, enhances the delicate peach skin tones and the soft coral of the shirt, giving the figure a soft and satin appearance.

Precious Materials: For all available sizes (up to 20 cm), this precious work is carved from maple wood, known for its fine grain which allows for excellent definition of the smallest details. The exclusive variant in Italian olive wood is also available, adding an extra touch of value and history to the artifact. Choose between colored finishes, three shades of brown, or the simplicity of natural wood.

1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Guardian angel, Child, hand (of the angel), wood (maple/olive).
2) Religious meaning: The Guardian angel symbolizes divine protection and spiritual guidance. The Child represents innocence and human vulnerability entrusted to the angel's care. The angel's extended hand indicates his protective action and benevolent intervention. The wood (maple/olive) evokes naturalness, purity and sacredness, often associated with biblical symbols of peace and prosperity.

The guardian angel, a central figure in the Christian faith, is not a canonized saint, but rather a theological concept deeply rooted in Scripture and tradition. Their veneration is based on the belief that God assigns each individual a guardian angel, a heavenly messenger tasked with guiding, protecting, and interceding for us. This belief, present since the Old Testament (Psalm 91:11-12), developed in the New Testament with references by Jesus himself (Matthew 18:10). The feast of the Guardian Angels, celebrated on October 2nd, was established to honor these celestial spirits and recognize their essential role in the lives of the faithful. Devotion to the guardian angel is an invitation to cultivate a personal relationship with one's divine protector, trusting in their guidance and unconditional love.
