Link shows sculpture of Mercury.
Normally the wings are on his feet, here on a helmet.
Some Male nude sculptures from the Renaissance era were covered with fig leaves to be polite and not show the penis.
Ironic, because the things he is holding on the right of the picture, and his hand, and even the falling piece of cape drapery, look phallic.
In the Renaissance the human form was revived, as it was done in a naturalistic style in Greek art from before and after the year 0.
He is holding his cape on his arm. on the right of the picture. The left is a bag of medicine. On the right he is also holding the sign of medicine, with intertwining snakes, which is sill used today. Consider yourselves privileged; people don’t have access to pictures like this from inside the Vatican. And definitely not with a review by Bubba!
THIS SCULPTURE IS A REFUTE OF THE SHAME OF ADAM AND EVE, AND HONORING THE STUDY OF NUDITY AS A SIGN OF WELLNESS AND HEALTH.
