Found in 1962 during work conducted at the Sanctuary of Asklepios.

It is a different version of Hermes Propylaios, the herm which, according to Pausanias, stood in the south wing of the Propylaia. The original work is attributed to the sculptor Alcamenes, pupil and collaborator of Pheidias, who created it around 430 BC.

The god has thick eyelids and long beard with symmetrical locks. Small whirling curls frame the forehead and longer ones would have fallen on his chest. This iconographic version continues the tradition of Hermes with archaistic features, a typological representation formed in the last decades of the 5th century BC.
