This precious ornament captures the dynamic and romantic essence of a winged figure, evoking both the angelic cherub and the mythological Cupid. The sculpture is a masterful example of Val Gardena craftsmanship, where natural materials are transformed into eternal symbols.

The figure is depicted in a vibrant, poised stance, ready to shoot its arrow. The body, with a matte, grainy finish that simulates the suggestive appearance of patinated metal or rusted iron, gives the object an ancient and earthy charm.

What makes this piece unique is the skillful material contrast of the composite wings. The larger, lower wing is made of a material that visually and tactilely recalls bark wood, with its rough textures and natural dark veins. This organic quality blends with the smoother, lighter upper wing, creating a surprising balance between the raw and polished elements. The 6.5 cm ornament is suspended by an elegant golden cord, and the detail of the arrow with a heart-shaped tip seals its meaning as a messenger of love and protection.

1) Iconography: Flying cherubs (angels), metal, bark. Symbolism: Purity, innocence, divine protection, nature.
2) Religious meaning: Cherubs are celestial beings, messengers of God, a symbol of purity and protection, often associated with childhood and baptism as a sign of new life and divine blessing. Metal suggests durability and preciousness, bark a connection with creation and authenticity.

The product is not associated with a specific saint, but with generic angelic figures: the cherubs. In the Christian tradition, cherubs are high-ranking celestial beings, mentioned in the Old Testament (Genesis, Ezekiel) and the New Testament (Revelation). They are often described as guardians of the Garden of Eden and the throne of God, symbols of wisdom, knowledge, and divine glory. Their veneration manifests itself in the recognition of their role as messengers and servants of God, figures that inspire protection and purity, making them ideal for gifts related to sacraments such as baptism, which celebrates innocence and entry into the community of faith.
