Gabriel the Messenger

The Gospel of Luke shows Gabriel appearing to Zechariah and then to Mary. The Book of Daniel also names him. Artists gave him a lily as his attribute. Some added a scroll with his greeting or a scepter for kingship. This Gabriel angel figurine leaves the props aside and shows only a quiet, praying figure.

A Bookshelf Angel Statue for Quiet Corners

Devotional art often shows figures at prayer, and a small figure fits a personal prayer corner. The hands-together pose reads as prayer, not announcement. That makes this bookshelf angel statue a calm presence beside books. A small praying angel like this also suits a bedside table.

An Archangel Desk Statue with a Steady Base

The square base gives the archangel desk statue a firm footing on a crowded desk. The rounded posture keeps the silhouette soft. Because it is a compact version of the larger statue, it keeps the same expression in a smaller size. Choose the Gabriel angel figurine when space is tight.

Gabriel in Devotional Life

Many people keep a Gabriel angel figurine near a place of prayer or study. Gabriel is the angel of messages, so he suits writers, students, and anyone waiting on news. The figure is small enough to move from room to room. A bookshelf angel statue can sit beside a favorite book. An archangel desk statue keeps a quiet reminder in view. Place the Gabriel angel figurine where you will see it each day.

This small praying angel is 8 1/8 in tall and weighs 1.25 lbs with its base. It fits a shelf, desk, or windowsill. The base alone is 3 1/4 in square and 3/8 in high. Dust it gently with a soft cloth. Explore larger angels in our Christianity, Angels and Crosses collection.
