    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.
