Description
This herm (a rectangular pillar, bearing a god's - originally Hermes's - head, used as fence posts and later for decoration) was one of two, which came from the environs of Herculaneum, Italy. Like most hermai, they were probably originally a part of a garden, and later used as fence posts.
