Ángel Músico Hand-Painted Mexican Folk Art – Carved Wood, Wall Mountable
This striking hand-painted wooden figure represents an ángel músico—a musician angel—a beloved subject in Mexican folk art and Catholic tradition. Likely crafted in Oaxaca, the piece features outstretched pink feathered wings, an expressive face with wide blue eyes, and a stringed instrument cradled to its chest. These angels often appear in nativity scenes and altars, symbolizing joy, celebration, and divine music.
Carved from wood and painted in rich hues of green, red, pink, and blue, the figure is adorned with floral and dotted patterns characteristic of Oaxacan artistry. Designed to be wall-mounted, a wire hanger is affixed to the back. Both decorative and devotional, this piece offers vibrant spiritual charm to any folk art collection or interior display.
Condition:
Good overall condition with minor paint loss to the corner of one wing and along the robe. Colors remain vivid, and the structure is sound.
Dimensions:
11 x 11.5 x 3 1/8 inches (Height x Width x Depth)
Soup can shown in photos for scale.
