Silent Night Star Figure - Ornament, by Department 56
Patience Brewster - Artist

Inspired by one of the world's most popular Christmas carol, this heavenly angel with gilded golden wings and sparking silver star gives us a feeling of Olde World, Scandinavian / Baltic heritage. She is wearing  an off white felt frock with the hem and sleeves trimmed in "boa" feathers. Her hem line has an irregularly scalloped boarder in olive green from which suspend iridescent blue bangles which match her blue shoes. Rising from the hem is a sparkling flower stalk with two tulip like flowers of burnt orange and paprika red. The sleeves have a wide musical boarder trim depicting a G clef with notes and words from the song inscribed. Her somewhat ornate bib-collar has an embroidered lace fringe, olive green piping and a blue banner at the neckline
