Sculpture "Patroness of Medicine (large)"

The author is Cesaro.We present a large, author's sculpture "Patroness of Medicine", made of high-quality bronze. More than 90 cm in height, 28 kg of pure bronze. Such things are designed to decorate large rooms. It will fit perfectly into the foyer of a medical institution. We also draw your attention to the interesting dark brown patina covering the sculpture.The sculptor depicted the goddess in ancient Greek robes with the rod of Caducius. This rod (a staff entwined with two snakes) has always been associated with Hermes and was a symbol of reconciliation and the ability to negotiate. The caduceus became a general medical symbol in the Renaissance. This is due to the fact that in the XVI century alchemy began to develop, of which Hermes was considered the patron. The main purpose of alchemical experiments at this time is not to search for the philosopher's stone, but to obtain medicines. Alchemists usually put a seal with the image of caducius on the vessels with medicinal preparations.
