| dc.description | Overall view from the left side showing fillet band in hair and part of the stone attachment at back; A Roman copy of a Greek marble herm of ca. 450-425 BCE. The messenger god Hermes was closely associated with boundaries, and his protective image in the form of a bearded head set on a rectangular stone shaft was placed at doorways and at strategic points along the roadside. This beautiful head gives a sense of the serene grandeur that also marked images of Zeus during the high classical period.
