National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman with wings standing atop a large shell. She has short, curling hair, and she holds a long, twisting object in both hands, perhaps a thin cornucopia. The sculpture is made of a dark, bronze-like material with a smooth texture. The shell that the winged woman stands on is balanced on top of a round black base.
