This colorful “Long-Skirt Angel” playing the *Trumscheit* (marine trumpet)—crafted by Blank Kunsthandwerk—adds a unique, historic instrument to your heavenly orchestra. Skilled artisans from Grünhainichen in the Ore Mountains create this figure with the utmost precision and meticulous attention to detail. For this colorful version, they employ a refined paint finish that perfectly highlights the little musician’s festive radiance. Beneath a golden crown topped with a characteristic star, a friendly face with rosy cheeks and a gentle smile gazes out at the viewer.
A standout feature is the pleated skirt, the hallmark of this world-famous angel series. In this version, the dress gleams in pure white, enhanced by delicate gold edging along the hem and sleeves. This design element underscores the workshop’s masterful craftsmanship and gives the angel its distinctive silhouette. The angel proudly holds an intricately crafted *Trumscheit* in front of its body. The string instrument impresses with its light-colored body and dark neck, while a fine golden lattice pattern adds a touch of elegance. The angel holds the bow in its right hand, lending a wonderful musical dynamism to the scene, while delicate, blue-glazed wings provide a soft color contrast.
Experienced woodturners shape the wood into a perfectly smooth form entirely by hand. Painters then highlight every detail with fine brushstrokes, devoting as much care to the gleaming gold shoes as to the tender facial expression. Because of this individual craftsmanship, no two pieces are exactly alike, ensuring that every purchase is a truly unique item. This angel makes a magnificent highlight for your holiday décor or a prized addition to a growing ensemble of musical angels. With this “Short-Skirt Angel,” you bring a genuine piece of Ore Mountain tradition into your home and enjoy the masterful combination of festive color and craftsmanship for many years to come.
