This enchanting sculpture captures the innocent grace of a child angel. The figure stands out with its bright orange robe, skillfully carved in ample folds and embellished with stylized decorations, which contrasts beautifully with the golden wings. The latter are treated with a textured finish that evokes the preciousness of gold leaf, lending a touch of celestial light to the work. The expression is serene and delicately pensive, accentuated by soft features and wide-open blue eyes.
The angel offers a gesture of welcome or blessing with an raised hand, while in the other it holds a delicate floral bouquet. Every detail, from the compact curls to the flower petals, is the result of the skill of the master artisans of Val Gardena.
Crafted following centuries of tradition, the statue is carved from precious maple wood, the ideal material for ensuring maximum precision and sculptural definition in smaller sizes (5 cm, 8 cm, 12 cm). The finish is meticulously hand-painted, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the sculpture and making it a unique piece of authentic sacred art.
