Cameo or intaglio, Cupid guiding lions. Glass. Possibly, Italy, 19th century. In the foreground, one can see a winged, nude child figure, Cupid (or Eros, the god of love), leading two lions that pull a chariot (note the wheel). These scenes were common in divine processions, especially in the case of Cybele or Mars. A significant number of these pieces were produced, as they were highly valued as souvenirs by Grand Tour travelers, who often combined several to form collections.
