The Staff of Asclepius (Æsclepius, Asklepios), (Personification of Medical or healing Art and its ideals). The traditional symbol of medicine, the staff of Asclepius with a single serpent encircling a staff, classically a rough-hewn knotty tree limb.
Asclepius (an ancient greek physician deified as the god of medicine) is traditionally depicted as a bearded man wearing a robe that leaves his chest uncovered and holding a staff with his sacred single serpent coiled around it, symbolizing renewal of youth as the serpent casts off its skin.
Wadjet “the Green One”, the serpent goddess of Lower Egypt from the Pre-Dynastic period demonstrates the earliest known representation of a single serpent entwined around a pole – in this case a papyrus reed.
