A pair of angels, nativity scene figures, Naples, Italy, nineteenth century.
Description: In Naples the Christ nativity characters (Presepio) have been modelled as follow: head in polychrome terracotta, hands and feet in painted wood, glass eyes, body in iron wire covered with straw.

The Neapolitan Presepio characters' clothes always reproduce the clothes used or on fashion in the period during which the specific characters were made, in typical poses called 'natural gestures'. Peasants, aristocrats, nobles, and bourgeoises were represented in their social class typical attitudes.
Ours angels' dresses are original from the nineteenth-century: a silk tunic with wide sleeves and drapery fluttering. The wings are in carved and painted wood.

The wooden base was made in the mid-twentieth century.

Our figure is without a finger (right hand).
