Vintage Style Cherub Shelf Sitter Figurine

This item is a decorative shelf-sitter figurine depicting a winged cherub or putto playing a horn or trumpet. It is constructed from a cast material, likely resin or a composite stone, finished with a weathered, polychrome aesthetic. The figure is shown in a seated pose with legs dangling, designed specifically to rest on the edge of a shelf or mantle. The cherub has curly hair and wears a draped tunic, with small feathered wings extending from the back. The color palette is composed of an off-white or cream base with significant artificial distressing, including brown and reddish-tan faux-patina spots intended to mimic aged paint or terracotta. The condition appears to be fair to good, though there is visible chipping and wear that may be either intentional 'shabby chic' styling or actual age-related damage, particularly notable around the horn and the edges of the drapery. The craftsmanship is commercial grade, common for home decor items from the late 20th century, and it lacks visible maker's marks or artist signatures. The style is neoclassical or baroque revival, frequently seen in interior design during the 1980s and 1990s.
