Hand-Sculpted Terracotta Angel Figurine

This is a hand-formed clay sculpture of a stylized angel, currently in an unfired or 'greenware' state. The piece is constructed from a grey-toned earthenware clay, featuring a conical base that forms a textured gown decorated with a continuous beaded line at the hem. The angel holds a single large flower, likely a sunflower or daisy, with thin, elongated arms. The face is left intentionally featureless and smooth, contrasting with the heavily textured hair that includes a small floral or bow detail on the side. Behind the figure are two simple, pointed wings with a dimpled texture. The overall style is folk-art or contemporary craft, showing visible hand-tooling marks throughout the hair and dress. The condition appears to be fresh and moist, as it sits on a plastic rotating sculpting wheel (banding wheel) covered in dried clay slurry. The craftsmanship displays a primitive but intentional aesthetic, focusing on verticality and tactile surfaces. There are no visible maker's marks, though the piece exhibits the characteristic 'wet' look of a work currently in progress within a pottery studio environment. The scale appears to be roughly 8 to 10 inches in height based on the proportions of the banding wheel.
