The sculpture depicts a winged figure resembling a cherub or an angel, positioned in mid-flight, blowing into a long horn or trumpet. The figure's body is in a dynamic horizontal posture with limbs outstretched. The sculpture is a blend of various colors, predominantly verdigris green with touches of coppery hues. The wings of the figure are detailed with brownish tones. The cherub appears to have a serene expression as it plays the horn, with finely detailed features such as the braided hair and feathers on the wings. The sculpture’s coloration and worn appearance hint at the passage of time, presenting an antique aesthetic.
