# Term: Attribute

### Definition: An object often associated with
 a person, character, or office. Examples are the crown jewels of a king, the trident of Neptune, and the caduceus of a physician.(pr. AT-trə-byoot)Artworks in which attributes are important elements: Johan Gregor van der Schardt (Dutch, 1530- about 1580), Mercury, Bologna, Italy, 1570-1580, bronze, height 45 1/4 inches (115 cm), J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, CA. Van der Schardt has given Mercury several attributes that signify his speediness: his sandals and hat bear wings. The caduceus he carries remind us of Mercury's role as patron of science. Mercury is the Roman name for the god called Hermes by Greeks.

Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many *comprehensive* and *complete* online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile [my own](https://artterms.artopium.com).
