This is a classic vintage Italian-style musical cherub (or putto) wall hanging figurine playing a mandolin/lute.
These distinct styles originate primarily from traditional Italian religious craftsmanship, often matching the works of renowned studios like Fontanini / Simonetti.
It features a chubby-cheeked angel with gilded hair and wings, intertwined with flowing dark blue drapery accented by gold.
This Cherub in particular was crafted in marfinite and hand painted finished by the artist.
