Abstract
The statues show angels in the high altar finial adoring and praising God. The sculptures were created together with the structure of the altar in the third quarter of the 18th century. Unfortunately, their attribution is unknown. According to the iconographic tradition, angels are shown as small children. Stretched between them is a banderole with a fragment of the "Gloria in excelsis Deo" hymn, also popularly known as the angelic anthem, which, according to the Gospel of Luke, was sung by angels during the birth of Christ (Lk 2:14).
