A bronze statuette of Hermes against a red background. The god is depicted in the nude with short-cropped, curly hair. A piece of fabric is slung over his left shoulder and draped around his left arm. He is holding a money purse in his right hand, arm hanging down relaxed by his side. His left hand used to hold his kerykeion staff but the staff was lost.
