Description
A herm is a sculpture with a head, and perhaps a torso, above a plain, usually squared lower section, on which male genitals may also be carved at the appropriate height. The form originated in Ancient Greece, and was adopted by the Romans.
This one in particular shows Hercules, who is a Roman hero and god, famous for his strength and numerous far-ranging adventures. He is also holding a cornucopia, which is the horn of plenty and also a symbol of abundance and nourishment.
