Early 20th century Italian miniature bronze Mercury resting figure, modeled as the famous seated Hermes antique sculpture located in Neaples Royal Museum.

Nice scale casting of the iconic statue of demi-god Mercury or Hermes, resting upon a naturalistically cast rocky outcrop.

Known in mythology as the messenger to the gods, he is depicted naked, sat in his winged sandals.

A well-cast copy of the Hellenistic bronze original which was excavated at the Villa of the Papyri, Herculaneum in 1758, and now on display in the ‘Museo Archeologico Nazionale’, Naples.

With a beautiful brown patina, this casting bronze figure comes from a private house of Milan, it is in perfect condition and dates back to early 20th century.
