2nd-3rd century AD. A bronze statuette depicting a naked winged Cupid in a dynamic pose, right arm resting, left arm slightly in movement, legs apart, with the right leg extended in the dynamic movement and the left leg standing once over a high pedestal, a dove or a torch might originally have been held in his hands; head features with enough well-sculpted facial details and straggly hair covering his ears, a top-knot sits at the top of his head at the end of a pair of braids, possibly the statuette might have formed part of a larger group, probably centred around a statuette of Venus.
