Small figure representing the god Mercury with winged helmet (petasos). In his right hand he is carrying a bag with silver (the most distinctive trait of the Greek Hermes); and in his left hand and leaning against his shoulder, he bears the caduceus (a staff made of olive branches) while the cape is rolled up in his hand.
