Hermes, the great messenger of Greek mythology, is a god who is spoken
of in a great many legends and myths. Known for the winged sandals that
helped him fly, and swiftly carry the messenges of the Gods, Hermes is
the god of travelers, those who cross boundaries, as well as shepherds
and herdsmen. His cunning and wit also left him viewed as a patron of
those who made a living with their charisma and words, even as his
trickery left him a patron of thieves and liars.
Here he is depicted in a cold-cast resin statue, sculpted with
exquisite attention to every detail and hand painted so as to appear to
be crafted of bronze. With his winged sandals leaving up a cloud of dust
as he flies, and his short robe billowing about his waist, he appears
intent upon his travels as he gazes down upon the mortals below; perhaps
on some mission of urgency to the Gods of Olympus. Measuring in at
approximately 9 1/4" high, 7 1/2" wide, and 4 1/2" deep, this statue
will easily fit upon most altars for your veneration and can be set upon
your shelf or desk to decorate your home.
