This subject has roots in European decorative art, where putti frequently appear in lighthearted, mythic scenes drawn from Renaissance and Baroque traditions.

The sculpture appears to be made of terra cotta or a similar cast ceramic material and finished in a warm bronze-like patina, giving it the look of aged metal while remaining lighter in weight. The surface has nice depth and variation, highlighting the movement in the figure and the textured detailing of the goat.
