Description

Let yourselves be charmed by the pastoral scene enclosed in this delicate artisanal sculpture, an ode to rural life and care. The group depicts two shepherds, a man and a woman, in a moment of quiet daily life, surrounded by a small flock of geese.

Every detail, from the woven texture of the basket carried by the woman to the soft folds of the clothes, is expertly carved by the artists of Val Gardena. The figures are entirely painted in oil with a matte finish, using earthy and muted colors (terracotta, olive green, gray-blue) that give the work a rustic and timeless charm, enhancing the naturalness of the wood.

This precious creation, with its compact dimensions of 5 cm, is carved from fine maple wood, the material of choice for small and medium-sized Dolfi sculptures. Maple wood is renowned for its fine grain, which allows our sculptors to capture the expressive serenity of the faces and the realism of the composition, making each piece a tangible symbol of Val Gardena craftsmanship.

Detail & Meaning
Iconography: Two finely carved wooden shepherds.
Religious meaning: The shepherds symbolize humility, guidance and care of the flock, recalling the figure of Jesus the Good Shepherd and the Nativity.
Story
The product, a group of two shepherds finely sculpted in wood, immediately evokes the Nativity and the figure of the Baby Jesus. Although not directly associated with a single saint, the shepherds are central figures in the evangelical narrative of the birth of Christ, the first to receive the joyful announcement from the angels and to go to worship the Savior. Their presence in the Nativity scene symbolizes the humility, simplicity and faith of those who welcome the divine message. The veneration of these figures is part of the broader cult of Christmas and the Holy Family, representing the participation of every man, even the most humble, in the mystery of the Incarnation.
