Who is Depicted? A spiritual being of superior power and intelligence is depicted. Specifically, an angel, as described in Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, possesses wisdom, knowledge, and the ability to influence earthly events. Angels are often characterized as benevolent, yet formidable, with a capacity for learning from each other, but not without flaws; they must be reconciled by God due to their conflicts. Typically, angels serve as intermediaries between Heaven and Earth or as guardian spirits. In Christian Science, an angel is used to represent an inspiration from God. The term "angel" has been extended to include artistic representations of these spirits and is also used figuratively to describe messengers, harbingers, and individuals possessing qualities such as goodness, purity, selflessness, intelligence, and beauty. Angels are referred to in connection with their spiritual missions; for instance, the "angel which has redeemed", "an interpreter", "the angel that destroyed", "the messenger of the covenant", "angel of his presence", and "a band of angels of evil". In fine art, angels are typically depicted as having the shape of human beings of extraordinary beauty, often identified using symbols such as bird wings, halos, and light. Technical/Specification about the Statue A bust is a sculpted or cast representation of the upper part of the human figure. It depicts a person's head, neck, and variable portions of their chest and shoulders, typically supported by a plinth. These forms recreate the likeness of an individual and can be created using various mediums for sculpture, such as marble, bronze, terracotta, or wood. A parallel term, aust, is used to represent the upper part of an animal or mythical creature. Sculptural portrait heads from classical antiquity are sometimes displayed as busts; however, these often originate from full-body statues or were created to be inserted into existing bodies.
