The Angel

Condition: Pristine | Limited Edition #173 of 2,500 | Designed By Jan Simpich

Look beneath the hem of her robe.

Her bare feet don’t touch the ground. The Angel is held on a slim brass rod above a sculpted white cloud, so she hovers over the Nativity instead of standing in it. Around the cloud, cut into the porcelain in a flowing script, is a line from Psalm 91: “For He will command His angels to guard you.”

That is what she is doing. Her head is bowed, her blue eyes are lowered toward the scene below, and her hands are held out and open.

Her wings rise above her head and sweep down past her waist, with every feather cut in. Her auburn hair is sculpted in deep waves and curls all the way around, so she is as finished from behind as she is from the front.

She wears a cream robe with a soft sheen, wrapped at the shoulders in sheer gold organza over white, and tied at the waist with a twisted white and gold cord that ends in a tassel. At her back, the organza falls in a long train between her wings.

The Angel was cast in fine porcelain from the original sculpt, then hand-painted and dressed in hand-sewn clothing in the Simpich doll shop. [Designed by ___.] She stands 17 inches tall, made to be the highest point of a Simpich Nativity.

This is number 173 of 2,500. No more are being made.
