Statue of Hermes Criophorus
Marble statue of a youthful Hermes with a ram.
Pentelic marble. 2nd century AD copy of a late 5th century BC original attributed to Naukydes of Argos. Found in 1890 by archaeologists of the French School in Athens, at ancient Troezen in the Peloponnese.
The god is shown naked, with a chlamys. He wears a petassos on his head. With his right hand he grasps the horns of a ram that is shown next to him, seated on its hind legs.
