This 2.5-foot Dwarapalaka Angel sculpture is crafted in wood and finished with a soft pink vintage patina, evoking the elegance of aged temple guardians softened by time. The finish carries muted blush tones, gently distressed layers, and a chalky antique effect that lends the sculpture a quiet, old-world charm.
Inspired by the traditional Dwarapalaka, the celestial gatekeeper of sacred thresholds, the figure stands in a composed yet watchful stance—symbolising protection, vigilance, and spiritual guardianship. The angelic interpretation introduces grace and serenity, balancing strength with refinement.
Intricate hand carving defines the crown, facial features, ornaments, and drapery, while the vintage pink finish highlights depth and texture without overpowering the form. Subtle imperfections and tonal variations ensure that each piece remains distinct and artisanal, never mass-produced in appearance.
