Erzgebirge Handcraftsmanship at Its Finest

This 12.6 - inch (32 cm) angel is handcrafted in the historic town of Seiffen, the heart of Erzgebirge folk art. Using native woods such as maple, beech, alder, ash, spruce, linden, and pine, skilled artisans carefully carve and hand - paint every detail with dedication and precision.

The figure belongs to the popular “Angel and Miner” series by Richard Glässer, bringing the symbolic meaning of these two traditional motifs into your home. While the miner represents diligence and tradition, the angel stands for hope, light, and protection - values especially meaningful during the Christmas season.
