Heavenly Protection - HUM 88/I HSC 69139093

A Timeless Symbol of Unseen Guardianship The Heavenly Protection (HUM 88/I) figurine captures one of the most comforting themes in the M.I. Hummel catalog: the idea that we are never truly alone. Two plucky, wind-swept children trudge through the elements, unaware of the graceful presence towering behind them. Standing at six inches tall, a magnificent guardian angel watches over them with open arms, her vibrant red cloak serving as a symbolic shield of warmth and safety.

First introduced in the late 1930s, this classic reintroduction remains a favorite for its emotional depth and mid-century charm. Hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, the piece beautifully contrasts the humble, earthy tones of the children’s travel clothes with the bold, protective red of the angel’s robes.
