Description

This moving sculpture captures the essence of care and protection through the figure of the Shepherd embracing a small lamb. Masterfully carved by Val Gardena artisans, the upright posture and downcast gaze express deep serenity and tenderness, making this piece a central element of spirituality and human warmth, ideal for your Nativity scene or as a devotional object.

Attention to detail is evident in the realistic folds of the clothing, suggesting the roughness of the fabrics, and in the sweet and contemplative expression of the face. The colored finish (C) uses semi-transparent pigments on warm, earthy tones, enhancing the natural wood grain beneath and giving the statue a textured and patinated appearance, either opaque or slightly satin.

Crafted according to ancient Dolomite sculptural tradition, this figure is carved from precious Maple wood, chosen for its fine grain and ability to capture intricate details. It is available in various heights, from 8 cm to 16 cm, and in Classic Colored (C), Natural (N), or with an exclusive Three Shades of Brown (3G) paint finish, perfectly adapting to any Nativity scene composition.

Story
The shepherd with sheep, finely carved in maple wood, evokes the figure of Saint John the Baptist, the "precursor" of Jesus. His story, narrated in the Gospels, sees him as a hermit in the desert, preacher of penance and baptizer in the Jordan. The sheep symbolizes the Lamb of God, Jesus himself, as indicated by him. The veneration of Saint John the Baptist is ancient and widespread throughout the Christian world, celebrated on June 24. He is the patron saint of numerous cities, religious orders and professions, including shepherds, tailors and baptisms. His figure embodies humility, unwavering faith, and dedication to divine service, making him a powerful symbol of spiritual guidance and purity.
