The intricate details of the piece showcase Solon's mastery of this unique ceramic technique, creating a sense of depth and movement in the composition.
The cherubs, also known as putti or cherubim, add a playful touch to the ornate decoration of the plaque. Their delicate features and graceful poses evoke a sense of innocence and wonder, reminiscent of classical Italian art.
