Sculpture carved in wood and polychrome, representing a young angel. The angel wears a tunic and appears in a naturalistic posture, with his knees bent. The wings appear unfolded, asymmetrically, enhancing the naturalism of the image. It was possibly originally part of an altarpiece, painted or sculptural, and one of its profiles is more defined in terms of carving, indicating that it originally belonged to a larger sculptural group. In addition, he probably held a musical instrument in his hands, as it was a recurring iconography in this type of carving.
