Description

Let yourselves be enchanted by the serene presence of the Lying Ox, a wooden sculpture that encapsulates the soul of Val Gardena craftsmanship. This figure is captured in a moment of absolute stillness: its body reclines on the ground, its head raised with a calm and slightly pensive gaze, inviting contemplation.

The mastery of hand-painting defines every detail. The animal is rendered with sophisticated shades of brown and cream yellow, which outline the fur and anatomical forms with great realism and softness. The satin finish enhances the attention to detail, from the stylized horns to the shiny eyes, making the figure vibrant and touching.

To ensure the highest sculpting quality, the statuette is carved from precious maple wood for sizes up to 18 cm and from robust linden wood for the 56 cm variant. Available in various finishes, including the classic colored (C) and the natural version, this reclining ox is a tangible testament to the sculptural tradition of the Dolomites.

Detail & Meaning
1) Elementi iconografici e simbolici: Bue sdraiato, presepe artigianale, legno d'acero, dipinto a mano, Vergine Maria, Giuseppe, Gesù Bambino, Re Magi, statuine Dolfi, albero di Natale.
2) Significato religioso: Il Bue simboleggia la mansuetudine e la fedeltà, presente nella Natività per riscaldare il Bambino. Il presepe rappresenta la Sacra Famiglia e l'adorazione dei Magi, incarnando l'umiltà e la nascita di Cristo. Le statuine Dolfi, pur essendo un marchio, contribuiscono all'atmosfera devozionale del presepe, che è il cuore della celebrazione natalizia e della fede cristiana.
Story
The Ox, a humble and silent figure, is a timeless symbol of the Nativity, present in every nativity scene. Its veneration is not linked to a specific saint, but to its function as a witness to the birth of Jesus. Tradition places it next to the donkey, warming the Child in the manger with its breath. It represents meekness, patient strength and devotion, essential elements of the sacred scene. Its presence evokes the simplicity and purity of the Gospel message, making it a beloved and recognized icon for centuries.
