The image shows a bronze sculpture of a seated male figure with wings extending from his head, likely representing Mercury (Hermes). The figure is sitting sideways on a rock or seat, with one arm outstretched and the other hand resting on his knee. In front of him is a caduceus. The background has faint detailing. The bronze material is a golden brown color, slightly worn. Inscribed letters are seen at the bottom. The style is classical and ancient, reminiscent of Greco-Roman coinage and mythology-themed artifacts.
