Hermes, Marble statue at Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum, Milwaukee, US
The eight-foot Hermes statue exhibits classical Roman craftsmanship with a first-century torso and additional marble sections completed during the 17th century.
The statue traveled from Italy through multiple owners, including a New York collector and Williams College, before reaching Milwaukee Art Center Garden Club in 1967.
The figure holds silver coins in the right hand and a snake-wrapped staff in the left, representing the Greek messenger god's role in commerce and medicine.
The Milwaukee County operates this museum at 2200 North Terrace Avenue, displaying the statue alongside decorative arts collections from different periods.
The statue stands on a bronze pedestal created by sculptor Dick Wilken, featuring four lion heads with water jets surrounding a circular pool.
