Item Details

Description

Roman Empire, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. An impressive solid bronze cast attachment depicting the head and torso of Mercury, the youthful messenger god as well as the god of commerce. He wears a grand helmet with wings at the back, known as a petasos, quite befitting of this messenger to the gods and guide to souls of the underworld. Given its high level of artistry and symbolism, this attachment was most likely intended for a fine vessel or piece of furniture. A lovely artifact from the ancient Romans! Gorgeous green patina! Size: 3.75" H (9.5 cm)
