Lovely detailed angel figurine - not just for bereavement
This is a really lovely praying angel figurine. I love the detail that goes into the whole piece. My favorite part are the carved birds and flowers in the lower part of the gown, but the piece is textured throughout the gown (which includes detailed edging) and wings, while the hair, face, and hands are featureless which is typical of this style.It is of a good weight for the size with a wide enough base, and so is stable when sitting on a shelf. It has felt pads on the bottom which are firmly affixed.The overall impression I receive from the piece is one of hope, inspiration, and comfort. While this makes it perfect for a "bereavement piece" as advertised, to be honest I just love the way she looks and it would make a nice addition to any angel collection or display where beauty and calmness are fitting.I did examine it carefully and found a very minor flaw (which isn't even visible from the front) at the top of one wing (a white spot) and tried to get a picture. It in no way takes away from the piece though, and I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't examining it carefully.Overall, this is a lovely piece, and I'd be happy to display it in many different places throughout my home.
