A verdigris patinated bronze herm top cast as the bust of a youthful Bacchus, probably Neapolitan and cast as a Grand Tour souvenir, last quarter 19th century, portrayed with hair tied forward in a topknot, with flower heads and vine leaves to each side, 16cm high, 10cm wide The bronze here is highly comparable to a bronze herm discovered at the House of M Fabius Rufus at Pompeii. That herm, whilst usually described as representing Eros has extremely similar flower heads and facial features, and furthermore, carries a highly corresponding green/grey patina. It is therefore not unreasonable to suggest that the bronze offered here was cast by one of the great Neapolitan foundry houses, -Chiurazzi, Sommer or de Angelis, since they specialised in reproducing excavated antiquities and selling them to Tourists
