Karoo Angels. Medium. White

Coming to us from the Baviaans region of South Africa's beautiful Karoo, the hand-crafted angels are produced by small craft cooperatives located within two remote villages.  The angel project is their only form of income and the success of the project has contributed a great deal to improving their lives and that of their communities.

These medium size angels are approximately 16cm in length and have white ostrich feather bodies, felt heads and either double or single heart shaped wings.

Although originally intended as a Christmas Tree decoration, the angels also make beautiful gifts and can have a variety of uses.  We have seen them hung off the rear view mirror in a car, above a baby's crib, gifted or purchased in memory of a lost loved one or simply to add to a collection.

All of the angel styles have names, many of which are after the ladies who make them and all of which have a meaning.

Marinda:  Of The Sea

Mia:  Beloved

Gerda:  Protector

Violet: Flower
