PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Gloria Angel from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Gloria Angel is a finely hand-carved nativity figure crafted in Val Gardena, Italy, where Alpine woodcarving traditions have been preserved for generations. Carved from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, this angel brings grace, light, and proclamation to traditional nativity scenes.
She is depicted standing on a softly sculpted, cloud-like base and wears an elegant off-white gown accented with a bow at the front. In her hand, she holds a flowing banner inscribed with the words “Gloria In Excelsis Deo,” symbolizing the angelic announcement of Christ’s birth. Her wings are intricately carved and finished in a radiant golden hue, adding brilliance and movement to the figure.
This listing is for the 8 inch Gloria Angel, which is available as a standalone figure. Smaller sizes in 4", 5", and 6.5" are available only as part of the PEMA Kostner 15-piece nativity set and are scaled to match Joseph according to set size. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request. Please Contact Us if you would like assistance selecting the best option for your display.
