LATE 19TH CENTURY MEISSEN PORCELAIN FIGURAL GROUP OF CYBELE

emblematic of Earth, the crowned goddess seated on a lion, holding a cornucopia and a key, attended by four putti: one holding up a garland, another, at her feet, a knife, with baskets of produce and fruit, atop a naturalistic grass-like base, marked with factory mark in blue underglaze, incised with model no. 83 with numeral 80 stamped in paste; overall height: 23 cm (9 in.)

CONDITION
The group is in overall age-appropriate condition. Overall a very heavy layer of dust. A small chip to the goddess's cornucopia. Inspection under UV shows fluorescence and retouching to the putti with the rake, more specifically retouching to the rake's handle and the blue cloth.
