Jan. 24th, 2008 08:58 pmsurfing around a site that sells statuary...I came across this. Now, I have to ask...
Does this look like Hermes or a member of the von Trapp family out for a hike?
http://www.abaxion.com/stherm.htm
My vote is on the former. (For serious, can't you just see a walking stick in his right hand?)
I very much like this statue of Dionysus...
