Figure - Puto - Wood

Classification
Based on the stylistic features, the object can be classified as follows:

Motif: The depiction of a child-like angel (putto) is a classic element of Western art, which flourished especially in the Baroque (approx. 1650–1750) and the ensuing Rococo. The combination of a childlike face, wing attachment, and the curved, decorative form suggests that it is a fragment that originally served as part of a larger ensemble (e.g., altar ensemble, frame, organ prospect, or another sacred/secular interior furnishing).

Stylistic features: The marked dynamism, the soft modeling of the facial features, and the flowing line (C- or S-curve of the wing portion) are typical characteristics of Baroque carving, meant to convey movement and liveliness.

Dating:
Time period: The piece is stylistically to be placed in the 17th or 18th century (Baroque/late Baroque to Rococo).
Note: The wood carving may originate from a South German or Austrian workshop, as these regions are known for their rich Baroque church furnishings.

Condition and material: The wood shows a pronounced aging patina. The traces (small holes) could indicate an earlier worm infestation, which is common in historical woodwork. The red cord at the head is a later-added element and does not belong to the original design.

Summary: It is highly likely a Baroque wooden carving from the 17th or 18th century. To determine the exact origin and value, an on-site examination by an expert would be necessary (e.g., a restorer of wood sculptures or an auction house specializing in applied arts) to determine, among other things, the type of wood and the extent of the remaining finish (paint/gilding).
