Museum replica of a Hygieia, goddess of health, statue. A unique solid bronze sculpture of solid bronze, masterfully handmade with the traditional method of casting bronze, museum type oxidization and verdigris finish. The statue is mounted on a black Greek marble base.
Hygeia is the goddess of health, sanitation and hygiene. By some theory, she is considered to be the stepdaughter of Asclepius whom she was worshipped alongside within all his healing sanctuaries of Asclepios.
Since ancient times, healers have noticed the close relationship between cleanliness and health. Pestilence and disease flourish where filth and impurities accumulate. Cleanse the body, both inwardly and outwardly, through diet, exercise, lifestyle and physical regimen, and most diseases are greatly ameliorated or vanish of their own accord.
