Gabriel

The sculpture is hand colored and individually cast in resin from the original in the collection of the Israel Bible Museum. The artist, Phillip Ratner, was inspired by the following words when he created Gabriel-I.Rabbi Nehemiah said,"See how great is the love of the Holy One for Israel, for He has designated the ministering angels, 'the mighty creatures who do His bidding' (ps.103:20) to be watchmen over Israel. Who are those angels? Michael and Gabriel." (Book of Legends: part 3 chapter 1) (Approx.12 inches tall.)
