The Mercury poised on one foot, supported by a zephyr. He is depicted wearing a winged Pegasus on his head and winged sandals which give him speed in flight. He carries the caduceus in his hand, the staff given to him by Apollo that has come to symbolize the practice of medicine. The god raises one arm to point heavenwards, in a gesture borrowed from the repertory of classical rhetoric that is characteristic of giambologna's maniera. The quality of this refined art is rarely found in re-casted bronzes. This sculpture was cast using the lost wax method and is mounted on a gorgeous heavy marble base. Bronze dimensions with marble base: Height 17 X Width 9 inches. Weight: 8 lbs. Please Note: This is a reproduction bronze sculpture from the original molded and signed. This featured bronze sculpture is a recast after the original, and has been done recently.
