Description:
|
|
Roman copy from the 1st century BCE of a Greek Early Classical original; found near Rome. It is a copy of the Kriophoros ("ram-bearer") of Kalamis (5th century BCE Greek sculptor). The kriophoros is a figure that commemorates the solemn sacrifice of a ram. It becomes an epithet of Hermes: Hermes Kriophoros. Hermes was associated with shepherds, and the sacrifice of a ram after bearing it around the walls of a city was sometimes done to ward off disease in the name of Hermes.
