About the Item

Masterpiece and Museum Pair of Feet of "Mercury" 19th Century in Carrara marble 46 x 30 x 20cm good condition for the period The "feet of Mercury" (or, more precisely, the winged sandals of Mercury) are an iconographic attribute of the Roman god Mercury (corresponding to the Greek Hermes), which symbolize his speed and ability to move quickly between the various realms and between gods and men. These sandals, often depicted with wings, allow Mercury to fly and carry out his missions as a messenger of the gods and protector of travelers. Here are some details about Mercury's feet: Winged sandals: Mercury's sandals are not normal footwear, but are equipped with wings, which symbolize his speed and ability to fly. Symbolism: The wings represent not only physical speed, but also mental agility and Mercury's ability to move quickly between different planes of reality. Attribute of Mercury: The winged sandals are one of the most recognizable iconographic attributes of Mercury, along with the caduceus (a staff with two twisted snakes) and the winged hat (petasus). Role of messenger: Thanks to his speed, Mercury is the messenger of the gods, responsible for carrying messages and orders between the various deities and between the gods and men. Protector of travelers: Mercury is also considered the protector of travelers, as he helps them reach their destinations safely and quickly thanks to his winged sandals.
