About the Item

Bronze bust with a medal patina representing a young man with a childish look and butterfly wings. He is wearing a drape held by a knot on his chest. His bodice is decorated with a rose. In his curly hair is a butterfly. It is Zephyrus, god of the west wind who carries with him Psyche, symbolized by the butterfly. The sculpture rests on an architectural pedestal. In the myth of Love and Psyche, Zephyrus is responsible for carrying the young woman to the palace of Eros. Psyche is a beautiful woman, which makes Aphrodite jealous. The goddess and asks her son Eros to make her fall in love with a repulsive being.
