Staff of Asclepius Statue

Staff of Asclepius Statue – Symbol of Medicine and Healing

Mythology and Meaning

Asclepius (Latin: Aesculapius) was worshipped in Greek mythology as the god of medicine. He was the son of the god Apollo and possessed the ability to heal all diseases and even resurrect the dead. His attribute was a staff around which a sacred serpent—the Aesculapian snake—was coiled. In this context, the snake symbolises the renewal of life (shedding of skin) and wisdom, while the staff represents support and authority. This symbol has survived to this day and adorns medical facilities all over the world.

Craftsmanship and Design

The statue is crafted in an elegant design that mimics the appearance of aged bronze. The staff stands on a solid circular base, ensuring good stability. The snake is modelled in detail, including scales and head, and winds dynamically upwards. Thanks to its neutral but dignified colouring, it fits into both modern and classically furnished interiors.
