These small angel and miner figures are lovingly handcrafted and made with an eye for detail by the Eckert folk art workshop.
The two figures are the light figures of the Ore Mountains and have a long tradition that goes back to the times of mining. These artfully designed wooden figures are painted in detail and traditionally handcrafted.
The miner figure wears a green hat decorated with the symbol of the miners. A red, feather-like ornament adorns the top of the hat. The miner’s face is simple, with blue eyes, red cheeks and a small red mouth. His clothing consists of a black uniform jacket with gold buttons and white trousers. In both hands the miner holds white candle holders decorated with red holders and gold details.
The angel figure wears a golden crown on its head. Its face resembles that of the miner, with red cheeks, blue eyes and a red mouth. The angel is dressed in a long, white robe that reaches down to his feet. The robe is decorated with a blue star motif just above the bottom edge. The sleeves of the robe are wide and flow down to the wrists, where she also holds white candlesticks with red and gold decorations. The angel has striking blue wings that rise from the back of the figure, giving her a heavenly appearance.
Both figures are made of wood and painted with bright colors, making them typical representatives of Erzgebirge folk art. They are mounted on round bases that give them stability. These figures are often part of traditional Christmas decorations and symbolize the Erzgebirge region’s deep connection to mining and craftsmanship.
