Vase or clock ornament

French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 545

As a clock or vase mount, this nymph, her body terminating in an acanthus console, would have been primarily seen in profile. However, she is lovely from all sides and has a beautifully modeled back and a wonderful coiffure.
