This statuette of possible Gallo-Roman origin is part of a production of quickly cast votive bronzes, where the features of the body and face were barely highlighted. However, it presents very clearly the characteristic petasos with wings and the small bag, symbol of his protectorate over travellers, traders and thieves. -
