It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

This delightful figure of the #Roman god Mercurius is holding a purse & has a winged feet and a winged helmet. He protected the pay of Roman soldiers, so this figure may have belonged to a soldier.

#Roman bird-shaped vessels were used as perfume bottles. The liquid was sealed inside and the tip of the tail had to be broken to remove the perfume. This one is still intact and filled with the scented content!

The vessel was found in a burial at Rovasenda, Italy.
