Marble fragment of Roman sarcophagus depicting a lush sculpture of Eros. The carving captures Eros in motion, right leg and shoulders thrust forward, while his head is turned back. On his back sits a large set of finely detailed wings with individual feathers layered and notched. Eros’ cape is suspended in the background and outlines his frame with thick folds.
