Description from the seller

Rare and fascinating architectural element / small hand-carved stone sculpture depicting the face of a cherub or winged putto with curled hair. The piece displays a rich natural patina layered over time, with ancient residues of preparation or surface whitening/polychromy typical of interior stonework from historic periods or sacred decorative assemblies. On the back the original forged wrought-iron anchoring pin, used to fit into the wall or the original architectural structure, is still perfectly preserved.

Subject: Putto / Cherub Face
Era: 18th Century (circa 1700)
Origin: Italy
Material: Sculpted / carved stone with period wrought-iron fixing pin
Dimensions: Height 30 cm | Width 28 cm | Depth 17 cm (+ 9 cm of protrusion from the iron pin on the back)

Conditions: Authentic era conditions and unrestored. It presents the usual and evident natural erosion of the stone, chips and wear of time that increase its patina and certify its age and originality.
