This colorful angel and miner tree ornament comes from toy maker Günther in Seiffen. With an eye for detail, they are handcrafted and colored with great love and care.
The “Angel and Miner” tree ornament features two artfully crafted, colorful wooden figures deeply rooted in the Erzgebirge Christmas tradition. Each figure carries symbolic significance and reflects the cultural heritage of this region.
The miner wears a black uniform with gold buttons and a green pit hat with a yellow dot. In each hand, he holds a stylized candle in a red holder. His serious expression and well-groomed mustache lend him dignity and pride. He stands on a gray base and symbolizes the hard work and lives of the miners who have shaped the Erzgebirge. In the historical context, miners bring light from the depths of the mountain to the daylight – an important motif during the dark season.
The angel wears a white robe with a blue bib decorated with traditional patterns such as flowers, hearts, and fish. Her red wings stand out strikingly. She also holds a candle in a red holder in each hand. The blue headdress completes her appearance. The angel represents protection, hope, and divine light. During Advent, she symbolizes heavenly companionship and reminds us of the Christian message of love and peace.
The two figures complement each other: the miner represents the earthly, the angel the heavenly. Together they bring light into the room and embody the close connection between faith, work, and tradition in the Ore Mountains. The hand-painted details, the bright colors, and the loving design make them valuable symbols and popular decorations during the Christmas season.
