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 reverence, beauty, and proclamation to traditional nativity scenes.
She is shown standing gracefully on a cloud-like base, wearing a flowing off-white gown accented with a bow at the front. In her hand, she holds a banner bearing the words “Gloria In Excelsis Deo,” symbolizing the joyful announcement of Christ’s birth. Her intricately carved wings are highlighted with a radiant golden finish, adding light and movement to the scene.
