With a bust of a youthful Eros projecting from the end of an upward hexagonal shaft, wearing an elaborate necklace, his oval face with rounded chin and chubby cheeks, small mouth lightly drilled at the corners, and large almond-shaped eyes with defined lids, his hair swept up into a top-knot and centrally cascading down on either side, with a drilled piercing at the base of the shaft for attachment.
