herm in English

noun
1
a squared stone pillar with a carved head on top (typically of Hermes), used in ancient Greece as a boundary marker or a signpost.
Because herms were boundary markers, they could be used on tombs to signal the terminus of life, or, in Giulio Romano's I modi, they could form an enclosure around a couple making love.
