Product code: Newest The Archangel Sealtiel
The Archangel Sealtiel Wood painted and newest gessoed Height: 9.5 in. (24 cm.) Mexican Sealtiel was believed to be the angel of Revelation 8:3 who stood before the Throne with a thurible (a censer hanging from a chain), so that is his attribute in most images. He is not usually pictured with a cope. The statue's base is inscribed St. Seltiel, a variant spelling. The name "Sealtiel" is from Hebrew Shealtiel, "prayer of God." He does not appear in canonical scripture, but in the 5th- or 6th-century Conflict of Adam and Eve he and another angel are sent to rescue Adam and Eve from the mountaintop where Satan had planned to cast them to their death, and from there he entered into Orthodox and Roman Catholic lore.
