"Dos Angeles"

The angels of Hope and Gratitude are beautifully carved and painted and work best together as a serene, watchful pair.

"This is s family heirloom now!"

Beautiful rendition of archangel Raphael. We wanted extra protection this year with do many family members having illness. We were able to generate strength and peace having this special image carved by the talented hand of Jose Ramos. The colors are very vibrant and the gold tones make this image pop out. So many family and friends now ask us to place special prayers under this sculpture and we think it is a blessing to have in our home.
