Pope Benedict XVI with ferula, wood

Highest quality and wood carving art from Val Gardena in South Tyrol!

This item was made in the traditional Val Gardena valley in South Tyrol.

After the blank has been roughly pre-milled from high-quality mountain maple wood (for the smaller figures) or lime wood (for the larger figures), unless otherwise specified, it is finished by hand and lovingly hand-painted in the colored version.

This high-quality handwork is characterized by its special quality.

Please note: However, this may result in the painting of the details (the larger a figure is, the more details can be painted on) and the colors differing slightly from the illustration without affecting the quality.

Mountain maple and lime wood are light wood types with very little grain.

Each piece is therefore almost unique.
