The Lucky Piggy Bank by Dolfi is a small masterpiece of rustic art, where nature becomes form and character. This unique sculpture captures the essence of Val Gardena craftsmanship through the skillful use of untreated materials. The body is shaped from a segment of a tree trunk or branch, retaining its raw outer bark, a deep dark brown that evokes the solidity and authenticity of the alpine forest.
The snout is the cross-section of the wood, a light ivory disc that clearly reveals the tree's history through its concentric growth rings, making each piece unique. Its formal simplicity is its strength: the eyes and nostrils are barely suggested by small dark dots, giving it a neutral and fascinating expression. The ears, made of natural terracotta-colored leather, add a touch of warmth and texture, while the legs are short segments of branches that stably support the figure. Standing 7 cm tall, this piggy is a decorative object that carries with it the charm and tradition of mountain wood art, ideal for adding an element of warmth and luck to any environment.
