This statuette is made in the 16th century in Germany by an unknown artist and represents the standing figure of an angel with outspread wings.
It is made of pipeclay, which is a fine white clay also used to make tobacco pipes and pottery. Conveniently situated on a major trading route, Siegburg was a centre of ceramic production with well-organised workshops and kilns in which also pipe-clay figures were fired.
