In chapter 2, on page 34, Lestat enters Roger's apartment, and when he goes around a corner he almost runs into a "great marble statue of an angel", offering holy water in a half shell. The statue is described as "poised as if HE had just landed from the skies to offer HIS sacred basin." Lestat "slapped HIS bent knee gently and went around HIM."

In chapter 5, on page 122, Lestat and David are moving the antiques to a different location. Lestat describes the "white marble angel with HER seashell holy water basin."

Is this angel representative of a male or female?
