Description: Youth untying his sandal, so-called “Sandalbinder Hermes”. Left arm and shoulder, right forearm and thigh, part of the chlamys and the plinth are modern restorations; the ploughshare at the base of the rock is a modern addition based on an errouneous identification with L. Quinctius Cincinnatus; the head is ancient but may be nonpertinent to the statue. Pentelic marble (body), Roman copy of the 2nd century CE after a Greek original of the late 4th century BC. From the Theater of Marcellus in Rome.
