Description

This finely sculpted figurine / sculptural art object is handcrafted in the Holy Land from sustainably harvested, authentic Bethlehem Olivewood. Using only non-productive olive trees from the Holy Land, this handmade piece reveals the stunning natural grain patterns of olive wood, free of any additives or sealants.

Abstract modern olive wood Holy Family sculpture — single carved block in pentagonal/house-shaped form with negative-space cutout framing three abstracted figures (Mary, Joseph, infant Jesus) in low relief. Symbolizing holy family — abstract contemporary interpretation; mary, joseph, and infant jesus; nativity theme. Materials include olive wood — single carved block; natural high-gloss polish finish; rich grain figuring. Single carved olive wood block in a pentagonal form — five-sided with pointed top resembling a house/stable silhouette. Large central negative-space arch opening (rounded keyhole cutout) frames the interior. Inside the arch: three abstracted figures carved in low relief from the block material — left figure (Mary, veiled, cradling infant), center small figure (infant Jesus, wrapped), right figure (Joseph, larger, with draping). All three share the same warm honey-gold olive wood with dramatic black grain swirling across the surface. Highly polished finish reflects light. Self-standing (base is the flat bottom of the block). Estimated height: 15–20 cm. Clean white-grey studio background.
