Our Triumphant Angel weather vane was inspired by a late 19th century, very famous gilded and molded copper weathervane of the Angel Gabriel (See photo, above right). While we have reinterpreted it to give it a more West Coast Weather Vane feel, you can still see a casual resemblance. She is a relatively new design and one our personal favorites.
This vane was commissioned by one of our best customers. She entertains frequently and on a very large scale. In addition to the Angel Triumphant weathervane, she has a Witch weathervane that she puts up at Halloween, a Turkey weathervane that she puts up at Thanksgiving, etc. Depending on the occasion, she has a weathervane to honor that day. Other possibilities are our American Flag weathervane for the Forth of July, one of our Bunny weathervanes for Easter, a Shamrock weathervane for St. Patrick’s Day, one of our Heart weathervanes for Valentine’s Day, etc.
One of our customers recently sent us two photos of his Triumphant Angel weathervane (see photos below.) We made her as the small size (one-foot sculpture piece) with optional gold leafing. You can see in the photos how the copper has turned a deep chocolate brown color while the gold leaf has kept its luminous golden color. As you can also see, gold leaf does just fine in the snow!

Angels are spiritual beings often depicted as messengers of God in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles along with the Quran. The English word angel is derived from the Greek ἄγγελος, a translation of מלאך in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh); a similar term, ملائكة (Malāīkah), is used in the Qur'an. The Hebrew and Greek words originally mean messenger, and depending on the context may refer either to a human messenger (possibly a prophet or priest, such as Malachi, "my messenger"), but also for more mundane characters, as in the Greek superscription that the Book of Malachi was written "by the hand of his messenger" (ἀγγήλου)) or to a supernatural messenger, such as the "Mal'akh YHWH," who (depending on interpretation) is either a messenger from God, an aspect of God (such as the Logos), or God Himself as the messenger (the "theophanic angel.") The term "angel" has also been expanded to various notions of spiritual beings found in many other religious traditions.
Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks. The theological study of angels is known as angelology. In art, angels are often depicted with wings; perhaps reflecting the descriptions in Revelation 4:6-8 -- of the Four Living Creatures (τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα) and the descriptions in the Hebrew Bible—of cherubim and seraphim. However, while cherubim and seraphim have wings in the Bible, no angel is mentioned as having wings.
Philosophically, angels are "pure contingent spirits." Philo of Alexandria identifies the angel with the Logos as far as the angel is the immaterial voice of God. The angel is something different than God Himself, but is conceived just as a God's instrument. According to Aristotle, just as there is a First Mover, so, too, must there be spiritual secondary movers.
