    I'm curious what this type of sculptural configuration is called (by the experts have some clue what it is). And some idea of what style it is.

    All I know is that it's made by Middletown Plate Company.

    Thanks in advance for any information you might provide.

    9 W x 7 H

      Could be a card receiver. Size?
    2. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      You'd put it on a table near the front door and people would leave their calling cards on it.

      Excellent idea Celiene. Makes sense. It is 9 W x 7 H.

      Agree-- looks like a card holder to me as well.

      I forgot to say - he's very sweet! He's a little Roman Puti playing an aulos!

      Sorry - Putti (Or singular Putto)

      Celiene: Haha... wow. Putti and aulos--two words I've never come across. Thanks, I love those kind of details.
