Antique hand-carved wooden angel figure with original metal wings, mounted on a hexagonal base. This piece shows significant age with remnants of old polychrome paint and a beautiful, authentic patina.

Arms and legs are jointed and pegged, a hallmark of early devotional carvings. Based on style, construction, and materials, this figure likely dates to the 19th century and may originate from a Spanish Colonial or Mexican folk art tradition, often created as Santos or devotional figures for home altars or churches.

The right hand appears to have once held an object, possibly a staff or sword, common in Archangel Michael depictions. Condition: Heavy wear, cracks, paint loss, oxidation on metal wings, and missing held object.

Base shows layers of old paint. Please review all photos for details. Approximate size: 12 tall including base. A rare and distinctive piece of antique religious folk art for serious collectors.
