Description	Hercules stands with winged figure of Cupid on his back. Some attention to details of modelling such as the musculature but Cupid's face is crudely depicted and Hercules' face is lopsided with a crooked nose. Unfeasibly large left foot with splayed toes. Cupid has a very long right leg. Cupid rests against Hercules' back and Hercules' supports the left foot in his left hand and his right hand is at the top of the left leg. Cupid has his right leg extended and resting against Hercules' right elbow, his right hand is against Hercules' head and the left hand on his left shoulder.
