Figure group
Figure group, possibly representing Venus and Cupid, hard-paste porcelain, the female figure standing and turning to one side with arms out-stretched, the figure is barefoot and has waving hair bound with ribbons, a floral-patterned gown and a puce cloak with a pattern of gilt flowers, behind the female figure stands the figure of a small boy, naked except for a yellow and brown cloth, the figure holds items in both hands which have broken off. The figures are mounted on a circular wooden base. There appears to be a further section to this group, which is now missing, leaving a gap where it should fit to the left of the female figure.
