Two silver and glass compotes stand side-by-side. Each features a polished silver winged child with curly hair standing on a scrolled, three-footed base. The figures mirror each other: one holds an arrow while the other holds a bow. They reach upward to support clear, cut-glass bowls with faceted sides and star-like patterned rims. Highly reflective surfaces and textured bases highlight the intricate muscular details of the figures.
