Iko & J. Schmutzer, Praying Angel (2), 1924-1925, teak, approx. 70 x approx. 38 x approx. 36 cm, Missiemuseum, Steyl, object numbers Schm07, -08, -09, -10. Photo: Joop van Putten.

The design is virtually the same as described above, but in this larger version, more details are visible. This can be seen, for example, in the bracelets of the two angels placed on either side of the Sacred Heart statue in the Missiemuseum. The angel’s locks also appear somewhat longer in these examples. They served as models for the stone angels in Ganjuran.
The statue is on loan from the Schmutzer family
