Fragment of Eros figurine

Replica of the preserved part of a terracotta Eros figurine from Egypt (150 - 200 AD). In the original, the winged god is depicted in the costume worn by hippodrome charioteers, holding in his left hand the Horn of Plenty. It is a unique Eros type embodying elements from the iconography of other figures as well.
