Description
Bust of a bi-facial bachial Hermes, of 33 cm hight, surely a herma. It was made of white Carrara marble. He has a wavy beard and mustache and his hair is arranged in two wavy bands on both the right and left. The eyes do not have pupils, but they are well drawn. On the forehead there is a ribbon decorated with oblique motifs that are divided into three longitudinal lines. It is a Roman copy (1st-2nd centuries BC) that follows the style of the archaic-classical period. Bosch and Caterineu Collection.
