Today's #AdventAngels is swinging their thurible with a completely devil may care attitude at All Saints, Braunston in Rutland.
Probably once part of a reredos for a long lost altar, the oval above them contains the instruments of the passion.

Detail of one of the thuribles that the figures hold. It is designed as a tower with three stories and a spire. The figure holds its long strap with both hands
Two damaged figures holding thuribles. Both are now headless. Their robes flutter and fold around their feet and at their waist.

A tiny jewel-like window caught in the sunshine at St Andrew's, Barnwell.
The colours and detail are absolutely lovely for such a small piece of glass, the light made the stars around the angels positively glow.

The censer is richly decorated with stylized patterns of interlacing foliage in gilded silver and different colors of enamels. The lower part is ringed by columns on tall pedestals. They separate a series of arches that frame decorated panels. The columns support the upper part fashioned like a dome.
Architectural censer, gilded silver with enamels, work of Parisian goldsmiths, 1575
Cathedral Museum, Orvieto
Things pop up in unexpected places!
Note: the tiny urn at the top, and the pair of enamel flowers in that rectangular panel of the base in the foreground.

A tiny censing 15thC angel at St Giles, Holme, Newark. Vigorously swinging it around without a care in the world!
