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.
