IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 14010 accession number: M.5-1997 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Thursday 19 November 2020 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Copper alloy, probably bronze, cast. The plump, nude putto decked with vine tendrils and several bunches of grapes, is shown in arrested motion, with his head sharply twisted, and a highly-focused gaze. Propped up by his left arm, with his weight on his left buttock, he reclines rather unsteadily, as if paused in mid-crawl, his legs bent in a zigzag formation, the left one pulled well forward to the right. He grasps a large bunch of grapes in his extended right hand, whilst, apparently inadvertantly, crushing another bunch under his left buttock, and a third beneath his left palm. object type: Copper alloy, probably bronze, cast, and chased. title: figure NOTES ----- type: history note value: Mortimer L.
