Description from the seller

Rare and fascinating architectural element / small sculpted stone carving hand-carved, depicting the face of a cherub or winged Putto with curly hair. The work presents a rich natural patina layered over time, with ancient traces of preparation or whitening/surface polychromy typical of interior stonework from historic periods or sacred decorative schemes. On the back the original forged iron anchoring pin, hand-forged, used to fit into the wall or original architectural structure, is still perfectly preserved.

Subject: Face of Putto / Cherub
Era: XVIII Century (about 1700)
Origin: Italy
Material: Sculpted / carved stone with period forged iron fixing pin
Dimensions: Height 30 cm | Width 28 cm | Depth 17 cm (+ 9 cm protrusion of the iron pin at the back)

Conditions: Authentic period conditions and not restored. It shows typical and evident natural erosion of the stone, chips and wear of time that increase its patina and certify its era and originality.
