ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This delicate standing angel emerges from the centuries-old Haitian tradition of transforming discarded steel oil drums into sacred art. Each 5" x 7" figurine is handcrafted by skilled metal artisans in the Village Artistique de Noailles, where recycled steel becomes intricate spiritual artwork through careful hammering and shaping.
The artisan applies a protective gloss varnish to preserve the detailed metalwork, creating a piece that honors both artistic heritage and environmental mindfulness. Fair Trade Federation certified, this small angel represents the intersection of devotion, craftsmanship, and conscious commerce.
As with all handmade Haitian metal art, subtle variations in each piece add to its unique character, ensuring your angel carries the distinctive mark of human hands and heart.
