This marble relief (early 3rd c.) features two winged putti —cherubs symbolizing love or innocence—engaged in fruit harvesting. One climbs a ladder while the other collects the bounty below. The imagery aligns with Dionysian themes of fertility and festivity, illustrating the joy of labor and the cyclical abundance of nature.
