Eros was the Greek God of love but it looks like a water carrier to me but surely Roman judging by the robes and style. Very nice find

Nice find. Decorative Victorian item I would say - not sure what it's off though.

It looks to me as if it may be a decanter stopper, without its cork.

looks a bit too stylised for Victorian I would have said.

 Victorian design is usually much more realistic and their casting quality  was superb quality not crude like this item .  Wink
