This model is a copy of a plaster cast of the Hermes by Praxiteles at Olympia. This cast was made before the lower legs were recreated and the plinth restored to stand on the original base at the museum. This cast shows the condition of the statue at the time it was discovered. For more information about the statue, check out the informative entry also here at Scan the World: mmf.io/o/27295 For more general information about the marble group at Olympia please see the Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_and_the_Infant_Dionysus
