angel statue

Carved celestial being

A statue depicting an angel—a winged humanoid figure from religious or mythological tradition.

Angel statues appear in cemeteries, churches, gardens, and public monuments, often conveying protection, mourning, or spiritual presence.

The weeping angel, head bowed and face covered, is a common funerary motif: An angel statue marked her grandmother's grave.
