Historical and Artistic Context
The figure represents Hermes (son of Zeus and Maia in Greek myth), a divinity resulting from the syncretism between Greek Hermes and the Phoenician god Sakkon. This religious fusion reflects the cultural exchanges in the ancient Mediterranean world, especially in commercial sanctuaries such as the Piraeus, where Phoenician-Punic merchants worshipped Baal and Sakkon. The original prototype of these representations dates to the early decades of the 4th century BCE, later copied in multiple versions that have come down to us. The specific iconography of Hermes Sakkon includes distinctive triangular elements on the forehead, incomprehensible from the classical Greek perspective but explainable by Phoenician tradition.

Versatility and Functionality
For indoor and outdoor use.
The natural strength of limestone allows it to be used both indoors and outdoors. The material is immune to moisture, temperature changes, and atmospheric agents, helping to maintain the lime element and its integrity and durability over time. (Calcium conglomerate fused to lime)
