Late 19th century, patinated cast bronze, appears unsigned, likely Italian, the classical winged deity clutching a serpent while standing on a black hardstone sphere, ring mount to back, presented on a polished onyx cube.

27 1/2 in.

From the Collection of Scott and Lois Taylor, Raleigh, North Carolina

Some looseness to serpent mount; scattered verdigris and loss to patina; some corrosion to interior; chipping to base.
