Be touched by the quiet dignity of the Donkey Dolfi, a sculpture that captures the gentleness and serene thoughtfulness of this faithful animal. Every detail is masterfully shaped by our sculptors in Val Gardena, bringing to life a work of touching realism.
The donkey is depicted in a tranquil pose, with its head slightly bowed, and its serene expression is deepened by its partially lowered eyelids, giving it a meditative and tired look. The chosen colours – a palette of warm browns, from light sand to intense brown for the mane and finishes – enhance the muscular structure and fur texture. The matte or semi-matte finish preserves the tactile sensation of the wood, while subtle nuances add depth and naturalism to the work.
This statue is crafted from precious Maple Wood for all available sizes (8 cm up to 16 cm). Maple wood is the excellent choice for small and medium-sized sculptures, thanks to its fine and homogeneous grain that allows for impeccable detail definition, both in the hand-painted versions (C, 3G) and in those left natural (N), enhancing the pure beauty of the material. A piece of art that carries with it the centuries-old tradition of South Tyrolean craftsmanship.
