Let yourself be touched by the sculptural beauty of the Cherub Angel Silhouette, a hanging ornament that blends ancient spirituality with rustic and contemporary aesthetics. This winged figure, akin to a cherub, is expertly crafted in a pose of rest and contemplation, seated on a large heart.
What makes this piece unique is its extraordinary material contrast. The body and the central heart feature a finish that evokes the power and durability of oxidized metal or rusted iron, giving the work a timeless appeal, as if it were a vintage find. In stark contrast, the wings are left in a natural shade that fades from light beige to moss green, recalling elements of nature and adding three-dimensional depth.
This precious sculpture, while reminiscent of the solidity of metal, is crafted from fine maple wood, a material historically favored by the master carvers of Val Gardena for small works (7.5 cm), thanks to its fineness and ability to hold meticulous details. The small heart, which the angel offers with an outstretched hand, is the emotional focal point of the entire composition. A delicate golden string allows the work to be gracefully hung, bringing a symbol of protection and love into any environment.
