Description

Be enchanted by the sweet silent melody of this Shepherd with Bagpipes, a masterpiece of wood carving that captures the essence of Christmas tradition. The youthful figure, with a single wing hinted on his back, is immersed in a moment of deep concentration as he brings the instrument to his lips, spreading an atmosphere of peace and anticipation.

The "natural" finish enhances the intrinsic beauty of the material, revealing the veins and grain of the wood in light and bright tones. The Val Gardena craftsman has managed to infuse life into the flowing garment, creating soft and dynamic folds that give movement to the figure, in stark contrast to the irregular base that simulates rough terrain.

Every detail, from the precise representation of the bagpipes complete with drones to the bare feet, testifies to Dolfi's centuries-old mastery. This sacred work of art is made of maple wood for the smaller sizes (30 cm and 40 cm) and linden wood for the more imposing 60 cm variant. Whatever size you choose, you will have in your hands a unique piece, finished with a protective matte varnish that preserves its aesthetic purity over time.

Detail & Meaning
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements: Shepherd boy, bagpipes.
2) Religious meaning: The shepherd boy represents the humility and simplicity of the first witnesses of the Nativity, central figures in the nativity scene. The bagpipes, a popular instrument, symbolize the joy and spontaneous celebration of the divine event.
Story
The shepherd with the bagpipes, although not a canonized saint, is an iconic figure of the Christmas nativity scene, deeply rooted in Christian tradition. It symbolizes the humility and simple joy of the shepherds who were the first to receive the announcement of the birth of Jesus. The bagpipes, a popular and pastoral instrument, evoke the festive and spontaneous music that accompanied the event, expressing the devotion and adoration of the common people. Their presence in the nativity scene celebrates the participation of all, even the most humble, in the mystery of the Nativity, underlining the gospel message of peace and hope for every man.
