This expressive hand-crafted folk art angel sculpture blends religious symbolism with a charming, rustic character. Standing 16 inches tall, the figure is rendered in carved composite wood and painted in vibrant yet timeworn hues of teal, red, yellow, and white. The angel features delicately sculpted wings with a scalloped silhouette that detach for storage or display, and articulated arms that rotate at the shoulders.
The piece was sourced from a Mercado vendor and likely originates from Latin America, where such devotional figures are common in both home altars and traditional celebrations. A painted yellow hat, serene facial expression, and long robe add to its stylized yet spiritual presence. The painted surface shows rich patina and weathering, enhancing the folk appeal and vintage authenticity.
The underside is marked with the number "10" and shows the texture and composition of the carved material, which appears to be a wood-resin or pressed fiber blend. Lightweight and full of personality, this piece would make a unique wall accent, bookshelf guardian, or holiday decor statement.
