Catalogue Note
Brackets of this type were produced to be mounted in wooden supports. The Doccia Crouching Venus housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (inv. no. 5423-1859), originally stood on such a base. Four putti term figure supports and ten scrollwork uprights from this base still survive and are also in the V&A.
