This figurative group, signed at the base, is attributed to the sculptor Scurati (presumably Piero Scurati Manzoni), active in the 20th century.

Subject and Style: The work depicts a complex allegorical scene with four human figures with classical and stylized features, typical of the Art Deco and "Novecento Italiano" styles. The composition features a bearded male figure at the center, flanked by two standing female figures, while a fourth female figure is sculpted in a reclining position in the foreground. The figures rest on a base crafted with geometric motifs resembling stylized rocks. The base is engraved with the signature "SCURATI."

Material and Finish: The sculpture is carved from a fine, light-colored wood (probably boxwood or maple), with a glossy, honey-colored finish that enhances its soft modeling and solid volumes.
