Germany, princely porcelain manufactory in Ludwigsburg ? - imitation, 18th century ? - 19th century ?
On an irregular, rocky base, a group of figures in a narrative scene composed in a circular fashion; towards a half-naked woman seated in the center in a loosely applied turban-blanket runs up a man in a flared tunic, a silver helmet (the wings on the helmet are beaten), with wings
at the ankles of his feet (Hermes), holding a small child in a leafy wreath over curly hair in the wrapped edge of his tunic; a woman in a tunic and blue-pink drapery falling to the base sitting at the feet of the figure in the turban supports the child along with Hermes. Behind the woman turban
and Hermes handing her the child - two kneeling women in flowery tunics; one of them embraces a goat climbing a rock, the other milks the goat into a bowl standing on the ground.
The elaborate figural composition of unclear iconography, which is related to the history of Hermes, is executed at a good sculptural level, but has no references or analogues in Ludwigsburg's sculptural realizations of the 1860s (such dating is suggested by the - false? - signature used).
