Product information "Peter Hohberger: 'Aesculapian snake staff'"
The symbol of the medical profession is reminiscent of the transformation of Asclepius. A delegation arrived at his place of worship, Epidauros, in 293 BC so that the god could free Rome from a terrible plague. Ovid reports in the 'Metamorphoses' that Asclepius boarded the Roman ship in the form of a snake and brought salvation to Rome. Hohberger created a monument to the god of healing full of vitality and vigour. Edition in bronze. Total height 43 cm including marble base, base 10 x 10 cm. Limited world edition: 199 copies, signed and numbered. Cast using the lost wax technique.
