Very large old mission box in the form of an angel. This large angel figures were used in churches. When you throw a coin in the angel’s bag, he nods his head ‘yes’ This angel is an exception to the usual size, most mission pots or nodding figures / angels are, on average, between 32 cm and 36 cm high, this angel has the exceptional large height of 48 cm. In the past, the pin to which the head of the angel is attached has been replaced and made a bit heavier, this is not noticeable because it is inside the figurine (see photos). The angel has a long wooden drawer where the money is collected. The angel also appears to have been repainted in the past, but it still has the old colours and it has a very nice and nostalgic appearance. All in all a very decorative piece for the home and despite its old age still usable as a piggy bank. Dimensions 48 cm high 19.5 cm wide 22 cm deep weight 3325 g. Will be shipped by registered and insured mail, it may also be collected.
