A carved wood statue of an angel, dating to the mid 19th century. This finely carved statue depicts an angel holding a gilded chalice, and has been sensitively observed with a serene expression on the angel's face. There is good attention to detail, especially the finely carved locks of hair, the fingers and the toes. The piece has a flat back and is intended to be displayed on a wall.
