The Angel playing Kettle Drums or Timpani - that big sound that provides the underlying heartbeat of the orchestra. Classical music fans and movie goers alike will know timpani from Strauss’s "Also Sprach Zarathustra" which was used in the 1968 sci-fi film "2001: A Space Odyssey". Have a listen here!
Named for the town in Germany where these precious figures are made, the Grünhainichen Angels were first sketched and created in 1923 by founder Grete Wendt. Each Angel has exactly eleven white dots on their little green wings – their famous trademark the world over.
Made in Grünhainichen, Germany
Height of Figure - 6 cm or 2.5"
