Double herm of Jupiter Ammon

A double hermes. This work affords an excellent instance of the conventional form under which, whilst retaining all its principal characteristics, the sculptors of ancient Greece were wont to represent this Lybian divinity. The two ram's horns almost uniting with the hair, descend from the temples without altering the outline of the two heads, which are surmounted by a double kalathiskos, below which is a crown of oak leaves of elegant design.

Inv. nr. 466A. H. 0.46.
