Ancient Roman bronze votive Mercury statue decorated with silver bands running from the shoulders to the front and back. He is wearing a winged cap (Petasos) and holding a caduceus.  These symbols emphasize his role as a messenger and swift traveller. This type of statues were used for home devotion and offerings, left by worshippers to invoke the favour of Mercury, thank him for answered prayers, or seek protection for a future travel journey.

Size: ± 44 mm
Display: ± 7 x 7 cm

Good solid condition, appealing olive-green patina, one leg and arm missing as usual for offerings. The figure will be delivered in a display case as shown on the pictures.

Certificate of Authenticity: available upon request (pdf-format).

Mercury, the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Hermes is the messenger of the gods and is associated with trade, prosperity, eloquence, and communication. His attributes were a purse, winged cap and a caduceus.
