Caduceus-machine embroidery design
The caduceus, a staff with two snakes coiled around it, is the symbol of medicine and pharmacologists. The caduceus is also the magic wand carried by Hermes (the Romans knew him as Mercury), the messenger of the gods.
The caduceus probably was first used as a medical emblem in the 16th century. In its earliest form, the caduceus appeared as a forked rod, the prongs knotted or crossing to form a loop. Later, the rod was entwined by two snakes with their heads meeting at the top. Legend states that Hermes discovered two snakes fighting and thrust his rod between them. The snakes stopped fighting and wound themselves around the rod. Thus, this combination became the sign of settlement of quarrels.
