Ca. 100-200 AD The figure is of a young boy, standing naked on the tips of his toes, as if he were mid-dance. The boy’s ethereal nature is highlighted by a pair of small spread wings, which are attached to his back. In his hands (he holds his left hand behind his head, his right is extended before him), he holds a cornucopia. Item comes with a professional historical report from Ancient Report Specialists.
