Cherub
Cherub, plural cherubim, in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic literature, a celestial winged being with human, animal, or birdlike characteristics who functions as a throne bearer of the Deity.
The Cupids (which are also known as cherubs) are iconic angelic childlike beings that traditionally are known as symbols of romantic love. Cupids are motifs commonly used in Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo European art. When used as a putto, the reference was to Aphrodite, Greek mythology, and romantic love.
