Description
This wooden donkey is a traditional folk art sculpture that is typically made from a single piece of wood. The most common style of wooden donkey is a lying figure with a long neck and ears that are typically arched. The donkey's face is often carved to look as natural as possible. The donkey's body is often decorated with intricate carvings or painted designs. Wooden donkeys are often used as nativity scene decorations in Christian culture.
Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Wooden donkey, reclining figure, long neck, arched ears, natural face, carvings/drawings, nativity scene decoration.
2) Religious meaning: The donkey is a biblical symbol of humility, peace, and service, often associated with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and the Nativity. Its presence in the nativity scene evokes the simplicity and sacredness of the event, recalling Christian tradition.
Story
The donkey, a humble and faithful companion, assumes a significant role in the Christian tradition, particularly in relation to the Nativity. Although not a "saint" in the canonical sense, its presence in the nativity scene evokes the simplicity and humility of Jesus' birth. The donkey is the animal that transported the pregnant Mary to Bethlehem and that was a silent witness to the coming into the world of the Savior. Its figure, often depicted lying down and with a meek expression, symbolizes patience, devotion and willingness to serve, qualities that resonate deeply with Christian values. Its inclusion in the nativity scene is not only a historical detail, but a reminder of the modesty and sacredness of that event, making it a revered element in the representation of faith.
