Ήρμης Κριοπόρος - Hermes Kriophoros - II

            "Kriophoros", ram-bearer, is one of the Hermes' epithets that commemorates the solemn sacrifice of a ram. 
The god, with his right hand, holds by the horns a ram shown squatting on its hind legs next to his right leg. Hermes is depicted nude, frontally, his body turned slightly to his left, with his weight resting on his right leg and the relaxed left leg drawn behind. A small chlamys fastened on the left shoulder hangs down and covers his hand, in which he will have held the caduceus. On his head, turned to the right, he wears a petasos. 
The work is a copy made in the 2nd c. AD of a late 5th c. BC original which has been attributed to the sculptor Naukydes, from the School of Polykleitos.
