Description
Baroque angel figure, holding a bowl of baptismal water with both arms. Exhibited on the ground floor of the former Guben City Museum.
Provenance
Formerly the Guben City Museum. Parts of the collection were apparently evacuated to Kossar (today: Kosierz) in 1942/43. The part of the collection that remained in Guben is said to have been looted between 1945 and 1948 and has been considered lost ever since.
