The Lichfield Angel is a late 8th to early 9th-century limestone bas-relief panel of an angel, discovered in 2003 in a routine excavation of a nave of Lichfield Cathedral. The panel has been conjectured as representing the Archangel Gabriel at the Annunciation, as part of a larger rectangular shrine chest to St Chad in the Cathedral. The panel was buried around 800 AD, after raids on Mercia.
