Christmas Angel Ceramic Figure Germany Vintage

It is hard to tell what this angel is made of.  He has a slight glazed finish, but rings as a slight thud when tapped; there is crazing.  The bottom seems to be sealed with a type of paper or mat, and then painted.  Alas, the hand is broken and the arm and head are glued back on.  This is a very old piece made in Germany.  An ink stamp on the bottom says "Germany".  I assume this is a very early Christmas piece.  This angel stands about 5.5 inches tall and is likely hard to find because it is so fragile.  Perhaps Papier-mâché.
