Description
MATERIALS: Portland Stone
DESCRIPTION: Statue with square pedestal beneath.
The statue is approximately 2.5m high. Mercury's right arm is raised pointing to the sky, his left hand to the ground, perhaps in a gesture of flight. Drapery falls from his right hand, partially covering his body. The winged cupid at his feet is tying a sandal to his foot. His quiver is on his back and his bow laid on the ground.
The pedestal is C19. The corners of the moulded cap and base sections have curved corners and the die is square.
