Hand-carved solid wood angel head – Vintage Mexican folk art cherub wall art
Magnificent cherub head entirely hand-carved in Mexico. This solid wood wall sculpture features a round, chubby face characteristic of traditional Mexican folk art, with a gentle and serene expression that immediately draws the eye.

Visible details of the piece:
– Realistically set brown glass eyes, giving a deep and lifelike gaze
– Finely sculpted hair with raised strands and a small stylized bun on the top of the head
– Wings or drapery beautifully framing the face
– Light-colored, patinated, varnished wood with a lovely antique texture
– Dimensions: Height 27.5 cm (10.82″) – Width 22 cm (8.66″) – Depth 11 cm (4.33″)
– Condition: Good condition for its age. Some old cracks due to the wood drying (at the top of the skull, invisible once hung on the wall) and typical traces of handcrafted finishing on the back.

A piece rich in cultural significance
In Mexican tradition, these carved angels bear witness to the rich syncretism between pre-Hispanic beliefs and the Christianity brought by the Spanish. Behind the Catholic appearance of a cherub often lies a preserved indigenous worldview. With subtlety.

A decorative and symbolic object, ideal for bohemian, ethnic, spiritual, or folk art wall decor.

Perfect for:
– Lovers of Mexican and folk art
– Colonial or rustic style wall decor
– Collectors of vintage wooden sculptures with glass eyes (rare!)

A unique, authentic piece full of antique charm.
