Handmade Clay Decorative Angel and Cross Figurine
This item is a small, hand-modeled clay sculpture or figurine featuring a multifaceted religious and symbolic design. The central element is a vertical latin cross with a textured, metallic gold-painted finish, adorned with three vibrant orange and yellow butterflies placed at the top and crossbeams. In front of the cross stands a female angel figure with large, upward-swept wings painted in a light grey or silvery tone. The angel's robes are white with gold accents highlighting the folds, and she is depicted with long brown hair. The construction appears to be air-dry clay or ceramic, given the soft, rounded edges and slightly irregular, artisanal surface texture. The paint application is heavy and glossy, suggesting a hobbyist or folk-art level of craftsmanship rather than mass-market industrial production. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the front. Based on the style and vibrant palette, it is likely a functional piece of contemporary folk art or a personal religious keepsake. The condition shows some minor surface irregularities and a slight crack visible at the top of the left wing, which may be a stress point from the drying process or a minor repair.
