Decorative statue of Asclepius - ancient god of medicine

A decorative statue in a classical style, most likely representing Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine and healing. The figure is depicted as a bearded man wearing a richly draped robe and accompanied by a serpent, one of the traditional symbols of medicine, healing and renewal.

The statue has a warm ivory to sandstone-coloured finish resembling natural stone and stands on a stable rectangular base. Its classical appearance makes it suitable for a study, library, medical practice, pharmacy or historically styled interior.

It would also make an interesting gift for a doctor, healthcare professional or collector of classical and mythological subjects.

The precise material, manufacturer and date of production are unknown. The identification of the figure is based on its visible attributes and cannot be considered definitive without a maker’s mark or inscription.
