The miner’s angel candle holder is an enchanting incense figure from Franz Karl’s workshop. This figure is made with love and in traditional handcraft and then hand-painted in great detail.
The miner’s angel represents a deeply rooted tradition of the Ore Mountains. Its simple elegance and loving details underline the high level of craftsmanship of Ore Mountain wood carving. The angel wears a long, white robe adorned with fine gold decorations. Its green wings, which have been refined with gold star motifs, give it a festive appearance. In both hands it holds candle holders, which traditionally represent the symbolic meaning of light in the Ore Mountains.
Angels and miners are among the most famous light figures of the Ore Mountain Christmas tradition. Miners in the Ore Mountains worked in dark tunnels and saw light as an essential symbol of hope and security. To bring this meaning into their homes, they set up wooden figures holding candles – the miner as a symbol of their work and the angel as a symbol of protection. This tradition developed over centuries and still shapes the Christmas image of the Ore Mountains today.
The miner’s angel combines traditional craftsmanship with deep cultural symbolism. Its fine painting and harmonious coloring create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The round base gives it stability, while the curved lines of the wings and the gentle facial features exude a special grace. Collectors and lovers of Ore Mountain folk art value this figure for its authenticity and quality.
With its warm expression and symbolic meaning, the miner’s angel not only brings festive splendor to every home, but also preserves the traditional history of the Ore Mountains.
