Mercury
Mercury is the Roman god of shopkeepers and merchants, travellers and transporters of goods, and thieves and tricksters.
He is commonly identified with the Greek Hermes, the fleet-footed messenger of the gods.
Artists over the years have borrowed attributes of Hermes and portrayed Mercury wearing winged sandals or a winged cap and carrying a caduceus (staff).
In this depiction wings are displayed on Mercury's ankles while he sits on a rock, almost as if he is waiting for something.
