Bring a touch of classical antiquity to your shelf or desk with this fine bronze study of the "Seated Hermes." Depicting the messenger god in a moment of pensive repose, this piece is modeled after the world-renowned Roman copy found in the Villa of the Papyri. The figure is captured in a relaxed, athletic pose atop a naturalistic rock base, complete with his signature winged sandals (talaria). The bronze features a deep, multi-toned brown patina with subtle highlights that accentuate the muscular definition and curly hair. The hollow-cast interior shows authentic verdigris, characteristic of vintage bronze casting.
