Bas-relief Holy Family in lime and walnut wood, measures 28x21x4 cm.
The timber comes from Lima and is brought to the Andes, where the workshops are located, at an altitude between 2800 and 3600 meters.Here the lumber must age from 1 to more years, depending on the thickness. When the humidity drops to 12-13% it is ready to be used. The drawing, first performed on paper, is shown on a wooden board.Subsequently the wood is carved with the help of chisels and gouges.In the first phase of processing it is roughed out defining the figures, then with other tools worked patiently until the complete realization of the image with fine details.All the young sculptors came out of the "Don Bosco" art school and received tools to be able to work by hand.The wooden Holy Family statue is made in Peru by local artisans who work within the Mato Grosso project.
Customer Reviews
Sandra G.5/6/2021Questo bassorilievo è eseguito con maestria e i due legni si armonizzano perfettamente. Consiglio l'acquisto anche per la serietà del progetto Mato Grosso, che conosco piuttosto bene.
