Encountering such a touching symbol of protection is a soul-nurturing experience. This magnificent sculpture captures the essence of guidance and serenity through the figure of the Guardian Angel watching over two children. Crafted entirely by hand according to the ancient sculptural tradition of Val Gardena, every detail conveys a priceless sense of peace.
The angel is depicted in a pose of supreme vigilance: with large outstretched wings and a serene, calm expression, gently placing its hands on the children's shoulders. The children hold hands, a gesture that seals their unity and mutual trust. The finishes are meticulously detailed: the veiled coloring, which allows the precious wood grain to show through, is enriched with brilliant metallic details in polished gold that illuminate the edges of the wings, the delicate collar, and the bracelets of the three subjects.
For this 12 cm size, the statue is carved from precious maple wood, a material widely used in Val Gardena's sacred sculpture for its compactness and ideal rendering of the finest details. The soft modeling of the volumes and the satin finish make this sculpture a masterpiece of faith and art, also available in the precious Italian Olive Wood variant.
