From the Museo Egizio record
Figure of Eros. On the head, the figure appears to wear a headdress of indeterminate form. The face is round, the neck is only faintly indicated. Wings emerge from the back. The right arm is raised, possibly once holding an attribute now lost. The left arm, bent, holds an unidentified object. The body appears naked, with elongated legs — the left slightly bent, the right extended. The feet are not distinct from the rectangular base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 5 cm x 8.5 cm x 3 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 2A / Mezzanine / Cabinet 05 Metal / Shelf 04. Image views available: 2.
