A beautiful, traditionalist religious object, angels are the protectors of young children in their bedrooms. The following prayer is recited in the evening before good children go to bed: "Watch over me when I wake, Good Angel, as God has said. When I sleep, bend down over my little bed. Have pity on my weaknesses, walk always by my side, speak to me along the way. And while I listen to you, lest I fall on the way, Good Angel, give me your hand." Very good condition, small chips on the back of the base, otherwise intact. Height 23 cm
