Title: | Herm Statuette | |
ΤΙΤΛΟΣ: | Μικρογραφική χάλκινη Ερμαϊκή στήλη | |
Category: | Bronze | |
Description: | Intact save for chip from bottom of Herm, and another from the base. A portrait herm, draped. The hair is worn in a fringe of straight locks around the forehead, and bound by wreath (possibly a plain fillet), tied with two hanging ends behind. On the front, below the drapery, a caduceus, incised. The Herm stands on a small round moulded base, from which it has broken away; it apparently broken off also in antiquity, and was soldered on with some substance, much of which remains. Style of hairdressing suggests the time of Nero : possibly an imperial portrait ? Cf. B 882 for base. Cf. Hesperia 90 (2021), p. 399, n. 112. | |
