bronze sculpture of a cherub holding an urn. Such sculptures were popular in the 19th century, particularly in France. The figure is a cherub, also known as a putto, which is a winged angelic figure. The sculpture is likely made of bronze and has a patina, which is a surface layer that forms over time. Similar pieces were often used as decorative objects, such as candelabras.
