Head of a herm

The origins of this statue remain shrouded in mystery, its composition built from three meticulously reassembled fragments that once made up the upper portion of a stele, with Hermes proudly taking center stage as its centerpiece. The god's majestic mane, elegantly tied back by a ribbon, cascades down his back like a golden waterfall, while two delicate tresses dangle enticingly from behind his ears to graze his breast. Meanwhile, his luxuriant beard is crafted from an abundance of long, wavy locks that seem to dance in the breeze. This exquisite work of art is nothing short of a faithful reproduction of its ancient counterpart, one that dates back to the late 5th century B.C.
