Description

I have a sculpture with the name Alexander Backer carved into the top. It looks like a pitcher but the lady I bought it from said it used to be a lamp. It has cherubs, grapes, goats and birds carved into it and the head of a ram at the bottom of the handle. Handle looks as though it has been broken and repaired.
