Excerpt from Eine Attische Grablekythos: Inaugural-Dissertation
Links vom Pithos steht Hermes in Profilstellung, den rechten Fuss vor den linken gesetzt. Bekleidet ist der Gott mit Chlamys und hohen Schuhen; auf dem Kopfe tragt er eine hohe spitze Mütze, unter deren Rande das volle Haar hervorquillt. Sein Ge sicht ist stark bartig. In seiner Linken, die durch den Oberkörper verdeckt ist, trägt er das Kerykeion, dessen beide Enden sichtbar sind. In der gegen die Seelen halb erhobenen Rechten halt er ein gerades dünnes Stäbchen.
