Title:   Herm with Drapery as Statue Support
Category:   Sculpture
Description:   Head of youth, set on a shaft; the whole framed by heavy drapery which covers the top of the head and falls down on both sides and at back. Lower part broken away. Face much worn: mouth and most of nose missing. Genitals missing but metal dowel remaining. Small cutting at top, apparently from later use. On right side a vertical V-shaped cutting (ca. 0.35m. x 0.04m.) with two holes, in one of which a metal dowel. At the back, running up from bottom, another (ca. 0.32m. x 0.09m. x 0.03m.) cutting, rough-picked. These two cuttings perhaps to aid in attachment of statue with which herm was connected. Drapery in rather large shallow folds, very flat across back.
Roman work.
Pentelic marble.
