God of fertility, animals & the underworld.
Herme The Hunter,

is believed the Horned God represents sexuality, vitality, the hunt, logic and power. But, he does not exploit his attributes
nor will he let them be exploited. He is considered to be compassionate gentle,

Great conversation piece or great gift for the one who has everything!
