A winged male infant—identified as Cupid, ancient Roman god of love—rides atop an elegantly stylized gazelle, which has been fitted with an ornate saddle, embellished with gilding and red paint, and a sun-like gilded ornamental disc surrounded by three spheres between its antlers. Raised decorative nubs protrude along the center of the back of the gazelle’s head; these nubs visually complement the drop finials on the saddle at the gazelle’s underbelly.
