Angel Arms

Anyone want to give a name to this lovely creature. I don't think Angels are usually represented having wings for arms and such perky breasts. Is it from Greek mythology or the artist's imagination.

Near the Hudson in the early 100's, Upper West Side, 107th street, I think.

I'm inclined to think she's some architect's special creation.

And C-Monster, in this case wouldn't it be more like "photox"?

Angels with breasts seems to have been a thing a century or so ago, on the Upper West Side anyway:

angel"

This creature is on Columbus in the opposite the Natural History Musuem (or slightly north).

This is a great shot too gamma -- where is this (I can't believe I've missed it).

My angel is cuter than yours, niznoz. I think it's just east of Riverside on 107th Street, north side of the street.

Thanks Gamma - I'll go check her out.

Your angel is a bit of a Goth I think, which is odd for an Angel. The Columbus Ave Angel, however, has a really great personality.

Yeah, she looks happier to be where she is than mine.
