In Classical architecture a term or terminal figure (plural: terms or termini) is a human head and bust that continues as a square tapering pillar-like form. Some may appear similar to a herma. In the architecture and the painted architectural decoration of the European Renaissance and the succeeding Classical styles, term figures are quite common. Often they represent minor deities associated with fields and vineyards and the edges of woodland, Pan and fauns and Bacchantes especially, and they may be draped with garlands of fruit and flowers.

  • En arquitectura Clàssica un terme o figura terminal (plural: termes) és un cap humà amb el seu bust, que continua amb forma de pilar quadrat El nom deriva de Terminus, el déu Romà de fronteres i marques de frontera. En la cultura grega antiga, si el bust és d'Hermes com protector de fronteres, amb els genitals mascles que interrompen una base senzilla a l'alçada apropiada, se l'anomena herma. El delicte de Alcibiades i el seus companys de beguda, pel que Sòcrates finalment va pagar indirectament amb la seva vida, va ser la profanació de les figures d'Hermes per tota Atenes, en plena nit. (ca)
  • Terme désigne en sculpture, une espèce de statue n'ayant que la tête de figure humaine, et terminée en gaine par le bas.L'origine de ces statues se trouverait dans le culte à Terminus. Le terme devient par la suite un ornement architectural placé en saillie dans l'architecture néo-classique. Il représente le plus souvent une figure masculine. (fr)

Often they represent minor deities associated with fields and vineyards and the edges of woodland, Pan and fauns and Bacchantes especially, and they may be draped with garlands of fruit and flowers. Term figures were a particularly characteristic feature of the 16th-century style in furniture and carved interior decoration that is called Antwerp Mannerism. Engravings disseminated the style through Germany and England. (en)
  • Termine nella scultura è una figura umana, una specie di statua con testa, e a volte anche busto, posta su un piedistallo svasato a piramide rovesciata, poggiante su una base cubica. L'origine di tali sculture risale al culto della divinità romana Terminus. Il termine divenne in seguito un ornamento architetturale posto in sporti nell'architettura neoclassica. Vengono rappresentate spesso figure maschili, anche se non mancano i casi di figure muliebri. (it)
