A winged cherub holding a horn of plenty and a spray of roses makes this one a decorative scrap rather than a devotional image, and the die-cut edge shows it was meant to be cut out and pasted onto something else. Scraps like this were popular in the Victorian period, when children and hobbyists collected them in albums and used them to decorate greeting cards, valentines and scrapbooks. The horn of plenty signals abundance and good fortune, while the roses suggest affection, so the piece was likely sent or kept as a sentiment rather than used in worship. Its placement under religious angels reflects how the imagery of cherubs moved freely between church art and sentimental household decoration.
