Putti, or "putto" is derived from the Latin putus meaning boy and putti are depicted as chubby, naked children, often with wings.. They personify the human spirit and emotions such as eros or love. They were popular motifs in ancient Rome and Greece, and adorned churches and public buildings, often carrying garlands of fruit and flowers or crests during the Renaissance. They have been woven throughout history in both decorative arts and paintings.

Perfect for a mantle or bookshelf, you can bring a bit of classical romance to your room with this delightful pair of putti.
