Carved Wooden Statue of Saint Mary Magdalene - Val Gardena Craftsmanship

The figure of Saint Mary Magdalene emerges with an enchanting grace and solemnity, typical of the highest sacred art produced by our master carvers in Val Gardena. The sculpture, hand-carved and painted according to a centuries-old tradition, captures a moment of deep contemplation.

Her upright posture and the inclination of her head, together with her gaze directed at the vase she holds, express a serene acceptance of her spiritual path. The attention to detail is superlative, evident in the flowing drapery: the scarlet red of the mantle envelops the figure, bordered and lined with painted gold that recalls the look of antique, burnished gold, creating a visual effect of great impact and richness.

Each piece is a unique masterpiece. The coloring is created with meticulous care and passion: from the subtle shading that defines the folds of the fabric to the patination of the amphora (a fundamental iconographic symbol), every element contributes to defining a work of inestimable spiritual and artistic value, perfect for adorning altars or prayer corners.

Respecting our centuries-old artisan tradition and guaranteeing the highest sculptural quality, the statue is made of maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm, ideal for precision of detail. For larger sizes (from 60 cm upwards), precious linden wood is used, perfect for stability and the expression of large formats.
