Striking bronze sculpture depicts a mythological deity Mercury (or Hermes in Greek mythology) features a scene of a nude Roman god in flight, adorned with intricately detailed wings on their head and legs. Hands are positioned with one raised upwards and the other held out, finger extended, as if commanding the winds. One foot is positioned backward and the other forward, ready for takeoff. Intriguingly, the base incorporates another head emerging from the ground, blowing fire or clouds from its mouth, further emphasizing Mercury's divine connection with the elements. All is mounted on top of an oblong-shaped bronze base. The sculpture's unique design captures the essence of Mercury's role as the messenger of the gods and the protector of travelers, merchants, and thieves. Beautiful patina with minor marks and wear consistent with its age and usage.
