An ethereal and luminous presence: the Praying Angel captures the essence of devotion and inner peace. This sculpture depicts a seraphic putto, whose slightly inclined head and placid expression immediately instill a sense of tranquility and protection.
Every detail is crafted with masterful artistry. From the voluminous locks of hair to the stylized embroidery that embellishes the terracotta-orange robe, the quality of the carving is evident. The golden wings, treated with a brilliant finish that simulates gold leaf, reflect light, creating a focal point of pure luminosity and elegantly contrasting with the semi-matte finishes of the skin and robe.
To ensure maximum precision and fineness of details in all available sizes (5 cm, 8 cm, 12 cm), this statue is carved in maple wood, the material favored by our sculptors for small and medium-sized works. The subsequent decoration, meticulously performed by hand, makes each Angel an authentic masterpiece of the Val Gardena tradition.
