What is winged cherub?

A winged cherub is a mythical creature depicted in art as a small, winged child with chubby cheeks and a mischievous smile. In Christian tradition, cherubs are viewed as angelic beings who serve as messengers for God and are tasked with protecting the Garden of Eden. The word "cherub" is derived from the Hebrew word "kerub" which means "blessing". The theme of winged cherubs is common in Western art and is often portrayed as a symbol of love, innocence, and purity. They are commonly depicted in paintings, sculptures, and tapestries as playful beings, joyfully flitting around in their Heavenly realm or engaging in various earthly pursuits.
