This colorful and high-quality tree decoration angel comes from Müller, made by hand using traditional methods from local wood and hand-stained and painted in strong colors.
This tree decoration shows an angel in traditional wood art form that exudes a festive and simple elegance. The angel wears a long, white robe that reaches to the floor. On the lower hem of the robe you can see delicate green and red dots that subtly decorate the robe and give it colorful accents.
The angel’s head shows a simply painted face with red cheeks, small closed eyes and a red mouth. The hairstyle is in a dark brown tone, with the hair short and straight on the head. On the angel’s head sits a golden crown that is slightly curved and decorated in the middle with a small green element. This detail reinforces the festive and royal character of the angel.
The angel holds a candle in each hand, which sits on a simple, natural candle holder. The flames of the candles are shown in bright yellow, which gives the impression of burning candlelight and underlines the symbolic meaning of the light.
Large red wings rise up behind the angel, giving it a majestic and protective appearance. The wings are in a strong red and give the figure a strong presence on the Christmas tree.
A fine, golden cord is attached to the top of the angel, which allows the figure to be hung on the Christmas tree as a pendant. The entire angel exudes calm and tradition and is a classic example of the detailed craftsmanship of Erzgebirge wood art.
At a time when mining was the most important source of income, a lack of light and the dangers underground were omnipresent worries. To symbolically meet these challenges, the traditional light figures, angel and miner, were created. These figures had the task of giving people hope and security.
The angel embodied heavenly protection, a powerful connection to the divine that watched over the miners. Its light was meant to drive away the darkness and show people the way. The miner, on the other hand, represented the brave men who risked their lives every day in the dark depths of the mines. He stood for courage, hard work and the hope of a safe return from the dangerous shafts.
These light figures became a symbol of luck, protection and community in the mining regions, where life was shaped by the harsh conditions of mining.
