Character Design Aesthetics Mercury Inventing the Caduceus marble statue

Mercury Inventing the Caduceus marble statue is a Roman classic sculpture. Mercury saw two snakes fighting. To stop them, he threw a stick at them, and the snakes immediately wrapped themselves around the stick and did not move. Hermes liked this stick so much that he made it his own and called it Caduceus.

The Mercury Inventing the Caduceus marble statue staff is wrapped around two snakes, sometimes with wings above it. In Roman sculpture, it is depicted held in the left hand of Mercury, the messenger of the gods.
