Overview
A decorative cold-cast resin figurine depicting an African American maiden or angelic figure dressed in a flowing rose-colored gown with a blue sash, cradling a cornucopia filled with yellow blossoms. The piece features molded, flowing drapery and a textured ruffle hem resting on a flat base.
Story
During the 1990s, giftware makers met growing demand for inclusive devotional art by producing African American angel and harvest figurines. These decorative resin pieces brought warm, affirming representation to family homes.
Maker / Origin
While often produced anonymously for major retail giftware and catalog distributors, items like this emerged from dedicated efforts in the late 20th century to diversify home decor and spiritual collectibles.
Condition & Value
Heavy dust and grime accumulation across the shoulders, face, and drapery; no obvious structural breaks, but requires gentle cleaning. Dust buildup slightly dulls original surface tones but does not significantly impair resale value.
