DescriptionThis vintage Silver Pearl Cherub Ornament is made from Paper Mache and straight outta the 90s! Technically still part of the “Whimsigoth” style (as the kids are calling it these days). Cherubs were quite popular in the 90s and often used in home decor to evoke a sense of whimsy and charm. Their presence in art and culture, in religious and romantic contexts, love and Valentine’s Day made them appealing for various decorative styles during that era.Cherubs are a type of supernatural being in the Abrahamic religions. The numerous depictions assign them many different roles; such as protecting the entrance of the Garden of Eden. In Jewish angelic hierarchy, cherubim have the ninth (second-lowest) rank in Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah (12th century), and the third rank in Kabbalistic works such as Berit Menuchah (14th century). The Christian work De Coelesti Hierarchia places them in the highest rank alongside Seraphim and Thrones.You will receive one random Silver Pearl Cherub OrnamentApprox. 6 inches varying degree of silver patinaVintage
