This collection comprises three Italian musical cherub figurines. The lot includes two larger wall-hanging figures and one smaller standing figure.

Both hanging figures feature metallic gold-toned wings and integrated white string loops for suspension. The smaller standing figurine is depicted playing a lute or mandolin and is mounted on a polished pedestal base with the appearance of alabaster or onyx. The figurines are manufactured from a moulded resin or composition material with hand-painted matte finishes and metallic accents. The reverse of the hanging figurines features the incised name Simonelli and a recessed stamp marked DEPOSE ITALY 1984, including the numbers 568 and 566 and a circular spider symbol.
