Description

Be captivated by the Shepherd with Staff and Backpack Sculpture, a masterpiece of essentiality and profound movement. This work, crafted with the skill of Val Gardena sculptors, captures the eternal essence of the wanderer or shepherd on a journey.

The figure, stylized and devoid of facial details, leans slightly forward, suggesting the slow but steady pace of one facing a long journey or the toil of the mountain. The details are minimal but extraordinarily eloquent: the wide-brimmed hat, the backpack or bundle on the back, and the indispensable staff, held firmly in the right hand, a symbol of guidance and support.

The material chosen for the smaller sizes (from 8 cm to 16 cm) is precious maple wood, appreciated for its fineness and ideal grain for the most minute finishes. The finish, inspired by the 3G variant, enhances the wood grain with a clever play of different shades of brown and beige. This layered coloring gives depth and a natural, matte and satin appearance, which enhances every fold and simulated drapery of the garment.

Also available in natural wood (N) and colored (C) variants, this sculpture is the emblem of authentic Dolfi Craftsmanship, ideal for enriching your nativity scene or as a refined sacred decorative object.

Detail & Meaning
Iconographic elements: Shepherd, staff.
Religious meaning: The shepherd symbolizes spiritual guidance and the care of God's flock. The staff represents divine authority and protection.
Story
The shepherd, a humble and essential figure, is a symbol of guidance and protection, recalling the biblical figure of the shepherds of Bethlehem, the first witnesses of the Nativity. His presence in the nativity scene evokes simplicity and faith, representing humanity welcoming the divine. Not associated with a specific saint, the shepherd embodies popular devotion and Christian tradition, celebrating the birth of Jesus and the message of peace and hope.
