Silver sculptural ornament in the form of Cupid. Roman, 1st-2nd centuries AD. (Height: 3.1 mm; weight: 7.30 g) Solid cast figure of a winged Eros between two vines, one of which he places his right hand on, cradling cornucopia in left arm, standing on a rectangular base set on acanthus. Recess at bottom, presumably for attachment to a hairpin. Scrape running down length of left leg, otherwise excellent condition. A charming piece. |
