The Snaked Altar Column Statue Compressed Marble Powder Sculpture Bergama Museum
By LAGU
Located in İSTANBUL, TR
Weight: 8 kg
The Snaked Altar, situated atop a marble column at the entrance square of the Ancient City of Asclepion, holds the distinction of being recognized as the earliest symbol of medicine and pharmacy.
The altar's prominent position within the Asclepion complex highlights its importance in the context of ancient medical practices. It served as a visual representation of the profound connection between spirituality and healing, as Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine, was often depicted alongside snakes, which were regarded as symbols of rebirth and rejuvenation.
Today, the original Snaked Altar finds its rightful place of honor in the prestigious Bergama Museum. Visitors to the museum can marvel at its intricate details and appreciate the craftsmanship of the ancient artisans who sculpted it. The altar's preservation allows us to delve into the depths of history and gain insights into the ancient world's understanding and reverence for medicine.
*Crafted from compressed marble powder.
*Manufactured using molds...
