Description

Blackamoor figure in the baroque type with a cornucopia in his hands. Base with rocaille patterns and a fleur-de-lis on the front, and a steel pedestal at the bottom to improve the stability of the figure. Above, the figure of a young man standing barefoot on the stones, with leggings on his calves, wearing a colorful outfit imitating leaves stuck together. He is girded at the waist with a wide sash hanging down to his feet, above is a vest with floral patterns, and on his head is a visible turban with a feather in the middle. In both hands he holds a large cornucopia twisted around its axis, ending with a narrowed sleeve with a hole in the middle.
