Vintage Micheline Mangin (MM) Cast Brass Angel Figurine

This is a small, cast metal figurine depicting a standing angel, identified by the user's provided 'MM' marking as a piece by French artist Micheline Mangin. The figurine is constructed from a heavy brass or bronze-toned metal alloy with a warm, golden-brown patina. Physically, it features a cherubic figure with detailed wavy hair, draped neoclassical robes, and outstretched, textured wings. The angel is holding an object, likely an orb or a religious vessel, in its right hand. The casting quality is quite high, showing distinct sculptural lines in the folds of the fabric and the individual feathering on the wings. The item stands on an integrated rectangular plinth base. Regarding condition, there is visible surface wear consistent with age, including minor oxidation and darkening in the recessed areas (patina) which actually enhances the dimensional detail of the casting. There are no obvious signs of structural repairs or breaks. Based on the style and maker's mark, this piece likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century. The 'MM' mark is a known hallmark for Mangin's boutique religious and decorative metalwork, often sought after for its delicate craftsmanship and spiritual charm.
