Figurine of a seated Eros found in a burial on the Hill of the Muses. Eros is represented as a child sitting on a rock, dressed in short chiton with a wreath on the head. He holds a bunch of grapes in his right hand whereas he has his left arm bent in front of his chest holding a pumpkin or pouch. On his back are preserved remains of his wings. Traces of white slip and light-blue colour are retained.
