50 Large hanging gold leaf gilded cherub angel with horn and wings

  

Here's some information about this type of artifact. The figure is a "putto" (plural: putti), which are often depicted as cherubic, winged children, commonly associated with angels or Cupid in art. In this case, the putto is shown playing a trumpet, a common motif representing the announcement of good tidings or heavenly music. These figures are frequently Italian in origin, known for their elaborate gilt decoration and often associated with the Baroque or Rococo periods, emphasizing ornate and decorative elements. While the specific material isn't definitively known resin is often used and what I believe this is and then gilded (coated in gold leaf).

Such figures can serve various decorative purposes, including wall hangings, mantelpiece ornaments, or elements within larger architectural or liturgical decorations.
