Willow Tree Dance of Life Angel 15.5" Hand-Painted Resin Figure with Wire Wings, Weighted Base

Willow Tree's Dance of Life Angel is a 15.5-inch hand-painted resin sculpture on a weighted base that captures movement and emotion through a simple, carved-ballet pose.

This sculpted figure, designed by artist Susan Lordi and produced by DEMDACO, is a decorative angel meant to express celebration, protection, and quiet joy. Cast from Lordi’s original hand-carved model and painted by hand, the piece stands on a metal rod and round base with wire wings and carved nature symbols on the flowing cream dress. It arrives in fitted packaging with an enclosure card that reads the sentiment: “Dancing…Twirling! The magical miracle of life.”
