Details

Marble finish with black granite base, from The Met x Eichholtz. Historic provenance: inspired by the Roman copy (1st to 2nd century CE) of a Greek marble herm from ca. 450 to 425 BCE, a bust or head, often depicting the messenger god Hermes, rested on top of a stone pillar. Hermes was associated with boundaries and was often depicted near doorways and along the roadside, symbolizing protection.
