Summary
The figure's chubby, child-like body and the arrangement of the hair suggest that the subject is a wingless Eros (the child-god of love). The pose indicates that he originally rode astride a plunging dolphin, a favorite subject in the 1st century. This object was probably an ornament for a lamp or table.
