I picked up this very heavy and large cement putti or cupid yesterday. it is over a foot long, 8 inches wide and 5 inches deep. it weighs a lot! has a beautiful patina. i'd love to know more about it. Italian?

i had to remove a lot of mud wasp nests on it, so it definitely has some age.
Nice looking piece!!

Hi Manikin. i just looked at your sculptues and left you a long comment. i hope it's helpful...
I would think possibly early 90's as I had some to hang on my wall when I was into a victorian thing. They were in general not an easy thing to find in my area. The patina they put on yours is beautiful.
Most probably italian.
thankyou Phil! that was my hope. i have another, later pair of black putti / angels which i think are 1920s/30s here: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/81912-my-black-and-gold-angels
i think that the patina on this one is imitating some kind of red marble, don't you?
So much texture and warmth, fantastic piece!
thanks bijou!
lovely item.
thank you daddy!
