About the Item

Ancient Roman Bronze Herm Statue dating from the 1st to 4th Century A.D. A herm was a statue consisting of a a head atop a square pillar, originally an artifact to honor the god Hermes. Originating in Greece as boundary markers dedicated to the god Hermes, these bronze statues served as protective deities and were adopted by the Romans for similar purposes,. The statues were thought to ward off harm or evil, and were placed at crossings, county borders and boundaries, and as protection outside homes. This herm comes with a removable Lucite stand. In modern homes, this small herm can be used to add a classical, sculptural element to a home. It can be placed in an entryway, an archway or doorway, or in garden paths. to act as a focal point at a path's end or a turn.
