Beautiful Italian cherub

Hello all.
I wondering if anyone could help with this beautiful piece I have .
It's a cherub , and I'm not sure if it's porcelain or ceramic .
It is signed on the back Italy with a number which looks like 1071.
I would like to know what the date is ??? And just generally a bit more information. It's a beautiful piece.

 

Normally cherubs have wings. I'd be inclined to think it depicts The Christ Child. Perhaps from a wall hanging nativity display.

 

Maybe more of a putti figurine ???

 

Sorry putto

 

Hard to tell in your first picture but I thought the blue around the head looked like a halo.

 

Looks like there is a fold in the blue, so it could be another piece of fabric?

 

When I look at the picture, the lower left of the 'halo' appears to be tipped with gold paint. Perhaps @Rita will come back & let us know for sure.

 

I just HAVE TO change rotation!

 

It doesn't seem too happy about that, look at that little face.

 

You are right!

 

Is the fabric hanger original in your opinion? What type of fabric is it made of?

I just re-read this, it isn't very clear. I didn't mean actual fabric, but a carved cloth.

 

Thanks for clarifying AJ.

 

I tend to either overexplain, or not explain at all. There is no middle ground.

 

Thank you for your help

Yes , carved cloth correct

 

And the pink hanger? What type of fabric is it?

Debora

 

Hi. There is no cloth or fabric at all.
The whole piece is made from porcelain .
It's a beautiful piece . Im just wondering if anyone know the age of even the maker .
It's defiantly Itailian.

 

So what is that pink tie looped on the back? Here. Below the word "Italy."
