About the Item

This is a charming figural sculpture of a Putti with trident riding on a tortoise. To the ancient Greeks and Romans, the tortoise was a symbol of love and fertility; the tortoise was considered an attribute of Aphrodite.

The putti is well-framed in a French a gold leafed neoclassical-style.
