About this piece

An angel with a halo and an open mouth, apparently mid-hymn.

Glassworkers in Germany made this Munich-style quatrefoil angel in glass in the 19th century. Painted and leaded glass panels in this tradition were commonly made for churches and later for private homes. A curly-haired angel looks upward within a four-lobed shape, with a golden halo, soft feathered wings and a green-gold robe. Dark lead lines outline each piece, and the face is painted in delicate gray and rose tones.

About 13 inches across. Put it in a window and wait for the afternoon sun.
