The Rod of Asclepius, as this symbol is known, has a rich history. In 18th-century England, the most esteemed physician was honored with a cane topped with a pure gold handle. The first to receive this prestigious cane was John Radcliffe, a renowned physician of his time.

The natural variations in the marble base add to its individuality, making it a truly special item. Whether displayed in an office, clinic, or home, this sculpture is more than just a decorative piece; it is a celebration of the art and science of medicine.
