A bronze figure of a winged boy (putto), his right arm held out and left arm raised, balancing upon a shell. The work is a modern copy of a bronze figure in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, attributed to Donatello and thought to have been made in the 1430s, as one of a series of angel figures for the font in the baptistry of the Siena Cathedral.
