Angel Statue

The Angel Statue is a decorative furniture item, which can be placed. It is rarely found in Chests Underground, and can be sold to a Merchant for. It can also be found, (very rarely), in The Corruption, deep down in chasms.

Before the 1.1 update, it was completely useless. It couldn't be held, equipped, worn, thrown, or wielded as a weapon. All it did was occupy an inventory slot (they also weren't stackable). With the introduction of several other statues with said update, this item finally got a use, although when talking to NPCs they occasionally refer to it as useless.

The Angel Statue has been speculated to be a replacement for developer testing items, to prevent the overpowered test items from being hacked in. It could also simply be an in-joke among the game's developers. Some also believe that it could be a reference to the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who, as the series has already been referenced with The Doctor's clothes.
