3671 ANTIQUE EXQUISITE ANGEL PUTTO IN NATURAL CORAL
 
Presented here, an exquisite figure or little sculpture of an angel -also called putto- in the shape of a winged human baby's head in natural coral. As seen at the pictures, the attention to the detail is amazing, the cheecks of the angel are delicately carved masterfully resembling the ones of a real healthy little child. 
Unfortunately, one of the two wings of the angel are missing but it won't affect at all the putto's face ( see pics, please).
The reverse of the figure shows two holes, probably for being able to set it in a jewellery mounting safely. The feathers of the wings and also the ones placed under its neck are very detailed as well.
Please refer to the pictures, they speak by themselves.
