Search Keywords (Done):Angel, Saint, Cherubim, Seraphim, Cherub.
Search Keywords (Pending):Jesus, St., Ste., Martyr.
Cautions: The collection is sorted not by name, but by unpainted visual appearance. Some of these figures will be grouped by functional or symbolic objects. Since this collection may exceed the page length limit, links will be provided for each category as they become overlarge. Also, the collection cannot be expected to be kept up to date, as it is not the main purpose of this wiki to indulge the viewer with these special galleries; hence, a proper search should ensue if your figure cannot be quickly identified from this gallery.
To find the identity of the figure: Simply click on the thumbnail, then, on the page with the pic, scroll down to see what links to that pic and follow the links.
Editors: Please observe the rules and requests at the top of the edit page.
Sculptors: Take note what categories seem neglected!
Collectors: Enjoy the eye candy!

Putti (sing. putto): "Cupids" - bird-winged babes secularly associated with Heaven
These are the layman's "cherubs," not to be confused with the Cherubim. This may be relocated to Half-Humans for their closer connection to Eros/Cupid of Greek and Roman mythologies.
Grotesques - like Gargoyles, winged, w/o weapons, static poses (crouch/sit)
For statuary that moves with evil intent, see Gargoyles. It is presumed that the Grotesques here are guardian statues, that, though ugly, serve Heaven rather than Hell, by warning people to be good and by warding evil away from churches. Non-winged grotesques would be found by scanning the Devils & Demons category for suitable figures.
