A pair of italian dancing winged putti in gilded wood, 17th century
Height x width x depth: 61 x 56 x 15 cm.
gilded wooden relief depicting two winged putti dancing on clouds, probably part of an architectural or liturgical decoration (such as a chancel support or a cymatium). The work, carved in wood and gilded, shows Baroque characteristics: full volumes, dynamic poses, and rich rendering of wings and clouds. Central or southern Italy, late 17th century. The presence of the ring at the top suggests later reuse as a wall element.
