ROMAN BRONZE STATUETTE OF MERCURY
Ca. AD 100 - 300A Roman bronze cast figurine depicting a standing youthful god of commerce, Mercury in Roman mythology, Hermes in Greek mythology. This god holds his attributes and is crowned with a diadem. This depiction is an early example, one that prefigured more Hellenistic-influenced portrayals. Instead, this figure displays a more abstract, archaic representation of the figure's anatomy and face. While the figurine may be small, near miniature in fact, it has iconography with Mercury depicting several of his attributes. For similar see: Museo Archeologico Nazionale delle Marche, Ancona, inv. 26980.Size: 52mm x 30mm; Weight: 26gProvenance: Private UK collection, acquired on the Belgian art market in the 1990s.
