Edwardian 15ct Gold & Enamel Caduceus Brooch in Original Case

764R
40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

This 15ct gold and silver Caduceus brooch is in excellent condition. It has been beautifully enamelled in red and green . The snakes have a small cabochon ruby in each eye and there are further rubies set in to the staff. The Greek god Hermes, who served as herald and messenger to the other gods, carried a winged staff entwined with two snakes. The word “caduceus” from Latin, is a modification of Greek karykeion, from karyx, meaning “herald.” These brooches are often associated with the medical profession. This brooch has been engraved on the reverse with Ardgowan Auxillary Hospital 1917-1919. It is in its original case retailed by Douglas & Son, 9 Hamilton street. Greenock.
