Guardian Archangel with Shield and Dove

Description

This black and grey realism piece portrays an armored, winged angel holding a sword and shield, sculpted like a stone statue amid stormy clouds. The figure is often read as Archangel Michael, representing protection, justice, and victory over evil. A rising dove adds themes of peace and spiritual renewal. Smooth gradients, crisp highlights, and layered textures give strong depth, creating a dramatic, faith-driven half-sleeve.
