Figures of this type originate from the Val Gardena region of South Tyrol, Italy, an area known for its woodcarving tradition, particularly through workshops such as ANRI during the early to mid-20th century. The putto displays the classic flying pose often seen in Baroque decorative and religious art.

The carving shows careful attention to form, with a natural wood finish, subtle coloration, and applied gilding for contrast. Hardware on the reverse allows for simple wall mounting, making it suitable as a decorative accent in a variety of interiors. The piece aligns with traditional craftsmanship associated with European carved wooden figures from the period. See less
