This model is one of a pair, C68 in Bradshaw's list of Bow figures, see p. 214. He states that the putto is reaching up to a bird which is either missing or was never on this piece.
This kind of tulip-shaped candle nozzle painted in underglaze blue and gold is found on other Bow figures, for example p. 201, pl. 222. The normal means of attachment seems to have been by means of a pin and nut inside the nozzle.
