Hygieia 28 cm

This bonded bronze statue portrays Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, hygiene, and well-being. Elegantly draped in flowing robes, she holds a bowl as a serpent coils around her arm—a symbol of renewal, healing, and the cycle of life. The snake, often shedding its skin, embodies transformation and vitality, aligning with Hygieia's role in maintaining health. Daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine, Hygieia complements her father’s curative practices by representing preventive care and cleanliness. Her imagery adorned healing sanctuaries in ancient Greece, and the Bowl of Hygieia remains a universal symbol of pharmacy, reflecting her enduring influence.
