This furniture mount is intricately casted with its repeated lines comprising swirling clouds and delicate features of the figure and chariot. The winged figure sits reclined with fabric draping around an outstretched arm. Their feathered wings extend behind, and their languid posture is emphasized by one leg up and bent, other straight out at the end of the chariot.The chariot itself has a wheel and ornamentation like a frieze along the sides, with three lines of metal representing ropes pulling it along. At the end of the rope are two stylized insects with thin legs, elongated bodies, and intricate geometric designs on their extended, mid-flight wings.
