See Mercury.
Originally, a
boundary stone dedicated to Hermes as the god of boundaries, and
therefore bearing in some cases a head, or head and shoulders, placed
upon a quadrangular pillar whose height is that of the body belonging
to the head, sometimes having feet or other parts of the body
sculptured upon it. These figures, though often representing Hermes,
were used for other divinities, and even, in later times, for
portraits of human beings. Called also herma. See Terminal
statue, under Terminal.
