Description from the seller
Bronze sculpture of Hermes, the god of commerce.
Through his constant travels, he became the patron of travelers; through his athletic and youthful appearance, he became the patron of athletes and sport; and through his youthful escapades, he became the patron of thieves. Because he constantly floated through the air with the help of his winged attributes, Hermes became the god of traffic and commerce, and his oratory earned him worship as well: he became the god of eloquence. Hermes was finally also regarded as the god of sleep and dreams: by touching people with his caduceus he could make them fall asleep and wake up.
The sculpture stands on a black marble base and has a beautiful smooth patina.
Height 45 cm
Cross-section of foot 13 cm.
Weight 2.5 kg.
The image is securely packaged and sent by registered mail and insured.
