Originally designed as a refined decorative moulding for high-end furnishings, it has been expertly converted into a wall-mounted piece thanks to an antique iron hook integrated into the hollow back. It depicts a mythological winged figure with floral scrollwork armor, finely chiseled outstretched wings, and a neoclassical-inspired hairstyle. Preserved in excellent condition, the structure is intact and enhanced by its natural period patina with golden and brown hues.
